Perhaps the most impressive parts of Cosmic Cavern are the two lakes that are hiding there.

Because no one has yet found the bottom of them, it’s said that the lakes are bottomless.

You can take a 1-hour and 15-minute tour of the cave, on which you’ll see South Lake.

South Lake has had trout in it for more than 50 years. They’re losing their color and going blind, but it’s still cool that they’re thriving underground.

When the second lake, North Lake, was found in 1993, it made national news. The water is so pristine in North Lake that you can see part of the cave below its surface.

These pristine sapphire lakes may not be great for swimming or boating, but they’re absolutely stunning and you need to see them right away.
