4.5 Indian Echo Caverns (905 reviews)
- Beautiful Caves!
Tuesday: Caverns & Caves • Geologic Formations

Natural Splendor along the Swatara.Like many caverns in the Mid-Atlantic states, Indian Echo Caverns is a limestone cave. Cut through Beekmantown limestone, which is over 440 million years old, they were formed through the erosive properties of water. As time progressed, geological forces led to an "uplift" of the surrounding limestone, eventually allowing more and more water to flow through the formation. As the water flowed over the limestone, it began to create small crevices, these small crevices led to larger ones, and eventually, over a series of millions of years, it created the caverns as they are today.The temperature inside the caverns is 52 degrees year around.

Tuesday: Caverns & Caves

This was a wonderful experience. It is a small cave, and family run. The father and son were very knowledgeable and took their time to explain the history and facts. We had booked a tour at 2pm and ended up being 35 minutes late. We had let them know we were running late and they graciously waited for us. This should be a visit for everyone. This cave has kept the integrity of its history, and is not "touristy", which we loved. See more..

5.0 Black-coffey Cavern (1 review)
- Cave Tour under the House
Spent 1-2 hours Caverns & Caves

We booked one of the open house tours and had a great time. The owners offer guided tours 1 weekend a month, Fri-Sun. They also have snacks available with drinks, all for donation. The cavern was just reopened to the public in 2020, after being closed for 50 years. The tour is about 1 hour and takes you through 2 different sections. Stephanie was knowledgeable on the family history of the cave, while Dean provided a wealth of geological information. A nice variety of formations, including popcorn and flowstone. To reserve a tour slot, watch their Facebook page; slots go fast when they announce the next tour weekend. If you miss the first round, watch close to your weekend, as there are frequent cancellations that open up slots. NOTE: there can be a lot of water in the cave; wear appropriate shoes. It had been awhile since it rained when we visited, and there was still a fair amount of mud in the cave. See more..
