History


Description

Arch Cave is currently the fourth longest cave of Canada [2010] with a total length of more than 10 kilometers. It is also the sixth deepest cave. While it is actually a real wild cave, there are regular organized cave trekking trips into the cave. This cave is very dangerous so we recommend stronkly not to visit it without such a guided tour. And even those tours require appropriate equipment, physical fitness and basic caving knowledge.
