Caving Trips

Worley's caving trip: We will travel through passages that are hundreds of millions of years old and visit vast rooms, such as “Fairies Ballroom,” “Tombstone,” and “Giant’s Causeway.”

Worley’s Cave, aka Morril's Cave State Natural Area, is located in Sullivan County, near Johnson City, TN - about 45 min. from our Nolichucky River outpost.

Worley's Cave is known for its voluminous size. It has more than 37,000 feet of mapped passages on two levels. There are rooms more than 75 feet wide and 250 feet long, with high ceilings that often exceeds 100 feet. It is noted for its beautiful formations within the eight to ten miles of passages. The lower level of the cave contains a perennial creek, complete with various fishes, white crayfish, and salamanders.
