This cave is truly magical! Located about 52 feet underground, the cave wasn’t discovered until 1813. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero, and leader of the Battle of Lake Erie are credited for finding it. And lucky he did too! During the War of 1812, his troops desperately needed water in this trying time. Perry’s Cave is home to a rare underground lake full of fresh water.

This underground lake is quite mysterious. It rises and falls with the tides of Lake Erie, but no one knows how they are connected!
