Secret sights of New York: an ancient lake underground

Some of the best New York City attractions are hidden from prying eyes. One of the main such places in the state is the underground Lake Venus, which lurks at a depth of more than 30 meters, writes Only in your state.

Venus Lake is located in House Cave, located in Howe Caves in Shohari County, New York.

"First explored back in the spring of 1842, Howe Caves are the most visited caves in New York City to be found in Shohari County," the source notes.

However, before going down to the ground, it is necessary to study in detail the plan of the caves.

Going underground you will be on the elevator. In the end, you will find yourself at a depth of almost 48 meters below the surface of the earth. There you will see stunning stalactites, well illuminated by the spectacular light of the spotlights, which will make the environment otherworldly.

There is also something that visitors often realize only when they are in the caves: underground they have an incredible view of the embankment.

In the cave of Hau, passing by the crystal clear rivers with running water, you will truly feel yourself on another planet.

Most tours of this cave last about 90 minutes. In this case, you will overcome the first part of the path on foot. And with every step that takes you lower underground, the journey will begin to take on an increasingly exciting and adventurous character.

In the end, you can jump aboard one of the boats, which will take you through a real underground lake.

Lake Venus, formed several million years ago, is an underground body of water right here in the caves of Hau.

This is a very exciting way to end the tour, as in New York State you will not find another such place for a boat trip.
