Crystal Cave (Wisconsin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crystal Cave is a cave in Wisconsin's Pierce County, approximately 1 mile southwest of Spring Valley. Discovered by accident in 1881 by William Vanasse, the cave was formed by underground erosion of the Prairie du Chien dolomite. During the school year, the cave is a popular destination for school field trips.[1]
[edit] Overview
The cave is accessed by a series of steps and ramps that allow visitors to descend over 70 feet. Stalactites, stalagmites and rippling flowstone can be seen hanging from the ceiling or covering the ledges of the cave.
