Just 25-kilometres northeast of Peterborough you’ll find one of my favourite spots, the Warsaw Caves, touted as the oldest underground jungle gym in Ontario. These caves formed during the end of last ice age, about 12,000 years ago. You may have heard of the famous “drumlins” that dot the landscape in and around Peterborough. The drumlins are large hills that were formed by the movements of the glaciers thousands of years ago. The Peterborough Museum and Archives sits on top of a drumlin (more on the museum later). But drumlins are only one of the remarkable topographical features around Peterborough. If you want an all-in-one experience, the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area really shows off the full diversity and artistry of a glacier-carved landscape. Where the Warsaw Caves are now, there were once waterfalls and rivers that could put Niagara Falls to shame. The result of all that water force over thousands of years is a plethora of stone artistry, from giant caves to small kettles, from picturesque cliffs and ledges to underground streams. There are also many different species of animals and plants that enjoy the conservation area. This type of landscape, where limestone has been eaten away by water, is called “karst.” Tourists go to great lengths to see the stunning karst landscapes of Austria, Slovenia, France and the Philippines. But this remarkable experience is in your own backyard and it is not to be missed. Make plans in your calendar now to visit. There are camping options and 15 km of hiking trails that offer some of the most diverse views and landscapes in Ontario. There are so many beautiful spots for hiking that you really can return year after year to explore and find your favourite spot. Of course, there are also seven caves to explore, several of which have underground, interconnecting passages. Exploring the caves is an activity for “beginners.” Navigating some caves can require squeezing and crawling, while other caves are more accessible and spacious. You can’t get lost since all the caves are fairly compact. There are plenty of fun spaces for the whole family. Be sure to check out the ice cave, where you might find ice even in hot summer weather. Canoe rentals are available on-site, and paddling on the Indian River is fantastic. The river is beautiful, with shores full of cliffs, trees, beaches and wildlife. Just remember that having fun requires being prepared, safe and informed. Download the digital brochures, follow the rules, and enjoy yourself.

A great place to visit the caves, caves trail and dry falls. People can go down the caves to see the fascinating underground. The magic of the disappearing river, the imposing view of the Indian river from the lookout.
