Warsaw Caves Conservation Area
Limestone caves and potholes carved by glacial meltwater, with seven small holes to explore, plus the 'vanishing river' of the Indian River and lakeside swimming.
The caves in this conservation area were eroded by glacial meltwater. Bring a flashlight and old clothes. Crawling through the holes makes for an adventure that suits families with children. The surface is covered with many potholes and limestone terraces. In one section, the Indian River dives underground and becomes the 'Disappearing River.' In summer you can canoe, swim, and camp along the river. Day passes are charged per vehicle. It is about 25 km from Peterborough.
