Review & FAQ:

Visit the cave that inspired the great American novel The Last of the Mohicans. It’s easy to see why this mysterious, low cave and waterfall inspired author James Fenimore Cooper in 1825. Located along the Hudson River between Glen Falls’ city and southern village, the cave was situated in the ancestral home of the Algonquin-speaking Mohican tribe. The cave, which was carved out by the mighty Hudson River, was described by Cooper as “dark and silent,” giving onlookers a sense of awe and adventure. A viewing platform is situated right next to the cave, allowing visitors to get the best views while learning more about the Mohican Tribe and James Fenimore Cooper.
