Sorry to not show what followed Corneille through the water filled tunnel but I have just received an e – mail from Danni. Danni is a new caver and would like to know what the Marmora maze caves are like. Apparently after Dewdney’s Cave last weekend, Danni has a sore back. I can fully sympathize, I am also suffering with back issues but for different reasons.
There are a wide variety of different tunnels in the Marmora Karst. Most passages are small and crawly but conversely in what I call the resurgence tunnels (though the water flows into them not out) the passags are quite high and amazing for a mid-winter wander. There are frequent skylights up to the surface and long straight channels leading off in different directions.
This weekend I will be leading a caving trip to the area and new cavers are especially welcome as there are a wide variety of easy crawls and generally virgin passages. I am especially interested in following up the “Pilgrims Crawl” to see where it leads. A strong stream flows out of a limestone tube at the river’s edge and though I had wriggled along it two summer’s ago, I had stopped some distance in, out of physical and mental discomfort. I feel ready to give it another try sometime soon, just have to be sure the back is up to it.
TCG members who are interested in joining us for a day of swimming, caving and enjoyment of the terrain should contact me via e-mail to arrange a meeting point.
I WILL FINISH CORNEILLE’S STORY SOON.
Where are these caves?
Hello,
Came across your website by doing a web search of caving in Ontario. I am really interested in checking out some cool caves with a friend.
I would love to know where to go. I would love to know what you charge for tour (whether you do one or not)
or let me know where i can go.
Thanks
Dina

Devin, are you a caver or have you any experience in caves?
Me and my buddy have been caving for a few years now. we like to go off the map and find un-marked caves and geological features. We have explored the southern tip of algonquin and found a few cool caves that are probably just a few of the many, they are pretty extensive. If there is a group of people like us, who simply want to explore, and collaborate without a fee. then write a reply.
Hey, Im super outdoorsy, love caving, but unfortunately dont know any friends who also enjoy this stuff!
Rockwatching….
could you please contact me in regards to this cave. I was hoping that you could give me some direction as to location of this cave… I have been in numerous Canadian and US caves(US Caves, Breathing, Trout, Flowerpot, Knox, Scoharie etc). been looking for this one for quite sometime now

Thanx in advance,
Joe Caver
I’ve been to Breathing and flowerpot – wonderful caves. Are you a TCG caver?
Currently no i am not but a few years ago i was a member of TCG. Great bunch of people. While in flowerpot did you happen to get to the twin waterfalls? Amazing…absolutely amazing.
I have done most of my caving in burlington, ontario. Mt Nemo, Kelso, Rattlesnake Point, and a few places back home in Niagara falls area. I have lived in kingston for a few years now and have yet to find any caves…(altho i know there are some out there due to the type of terrain in the area).
This one has eluded me for a while now and from pics i have seen, would love to check it out sometime.
Hay I know this is an old post but I was wondering if maybe you could tell me how to get to the marmora karst? We are not looking to destroy just adventurers looking for a new thrill!! My email is i_love_stevie-b@hotmail.com thanks so much!! :D
