Bob Denton is correct. That is a statement we no longer use. Of the 3 show caves in WV we are about third in volume. What we do promote is that we are the most natural show cave in wv. We go to great lengths to keep the cave in as much of a natural state will still being able to let the public see it. Thank you for the compliment. Russell

I had a scoutmaster who was a fanatical spelunker and he took some of the older scouts in our troop to both Hellhole and Schoolhouse, another enormous, and challenging vertical cave. On one outing we slept overnight inside a Harper’s Ferry cave; it’s a truly bizarre feeling to have no visual light cues about when to wake up or go to sleep.

Seneca Caverns is a beautiful cave, but it is NOT the “largest” cave in West Virginia, or even in the Germany Valley of Pendleton County (where it is located). The largest cave in the region is Hellhole (a “wild”, non-tour cave), both from the point of view of length and size of the rooms.

The largest caves in WV are all located in Greenbrier and Pocahontas Counties.
