#2 of 6 in Nature in Chattanooga

Observation Deck Cave

• ©

A thundering underground waterfall, Ruby Falls is fed by both natural rainwater and natural springs. Located at the end of the main passage of a deep mountain cave, the waterfall creates a pool in the cave floor and then continues to flow through underground passages until it finally empties into the Tennessee River. Enter the cave to see the 45 m (150 ft) waterfall and several types of geological formations, including stalactites and stalagmites. For an in-depth look at this underground world of water and limestone, join a guided tour of the cave, or check online for your chance to see the falls on an expedition using only lanterns to light the way.

  Very mesmerizing cave,as you follow the trail inside you get to see different formations of stones - one wonders about how they came about. it's really awesome as the different colors of light appears, How the Ruby Falls was built is truly a wonderful story as narrated by the guides who are really helpful and experienced. Most of them probably matured as the years go by showing the beauty of Ruby Falls to others.

  Our family was in Chattanooga to celebrate a birthday. We decided to visit Ruby Falls prior to heading home. Although the outside temps were frigid, the temp in the cave is a comfortable 60 degrees. The tour guide was great, and the experience was very enjoyable. The falls are beautiful! I would recommend this experience if you are in the Chattanooga area.
