Greig's Caves

A cluster of limestone caves beneath the Niagara Escarpment, privately operated, with a trail linking several cave mouths. It has served as a film location.

Greig's Caves were carved by lake water over millions of years. Along the cliff are more than a dozen caves of various sizes. About nine are open for visitors to explore, and the deepest is large enough to walk through. The loop trail is about 1.5 km and includes a stretch of cliff-edge path and stone steps. The caves are dark inside, so bring a torch or use your phone's light, and wear non-slip shoes. This is a privately run family attraction, with tickets sold on site. It opens in summer and may close on rainy days. The film Quest for Fire was shot here. It is about a 15-minute drive from Lion's Head and can be combined with Lion's Head Lookout on the same day.
