Review & FAQ:

Smoke Hole Caverns is a fascinating show cave in Grant County, West Virginia, near the Smoke Hole Canyon, about 13 km west of Petersburg. According to the local lore, the cave was used during Prohibition by moonshiners. Smoke Hole is owned and operated by Jerry and Janet Hedrick. The most fascinating feature in the caverns is called "The World's Largest Ribbon Stalactite." There are also a number of unusual helicitites and a crystal cave coral pool. The pool is one of the only two such features in the world. The cavern has been significantly altered to make it tourist friendly, resulting in extensive damage to the cave formations.
