In-Town: Tours of Niagara Falls, New York
Cave of the Winds TourGoat Island Niagara Falls, NY 14301 716-278-1730 Cave of the Winds is a cavern located behind the Bridal Veil Falls, created by an overhanging ledge of Lockport Dolostone rock at the top of the gorge, over which the Bridal Veil Falls flowed. In 1901, this cavern originally measured approximately 130 feet high, 100 feet wide and 100 feet in depth. Accessed by staircase since 1829, and by elevator since 1925, but by 1955 the instability of the eroded overhanging ledge became too dangerous for tourists, and the cave was reduced to only 30 feet, the original Cave was destroyed with dynamite in 1955. Today's "Cave of the Winds" is a guided adventure to the base of the Niagara Gorge and over a series of wooden decks below the Bridal Veil/Luna Falls coming within twenty five (25) feet from the Falls on the hurricane deck. Raincoats are issued but be prepared to be soaked by the thundering cataracts. Open Seasonal. Admission Adults $8.00 - Children $7.00.
