Deep beneath Humpback Mountain, nature has sculpted a veritable masterpiece in stone forming the only underground caverns in the Stae of North Carolina. Toiling many centuries, slowly moving ground water has been the primary artist for this creation of underground labyrinths.
Linville Caverns were discovered in the 1800's by men intrigued by the mystery of fish swimming out of the mountain. Since then, extensive research has been done to acknowledge the history, folklore, geology and biology of Linville Caverns. One can only marvel at the endless information this underground wonder has to offer. The mystery is still alive.
