Angel Cave On The Web!

Angel Cave is a naturally formed cave located in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky. It's history dates back to the days of the indians, and quite a stir was created by the media about the cave in the late 1920's. The cave was thought to have been part of the Mammoth Cave subsystem, but later geograpic reports told otherwise. Still, the media had a field day, and the cave has since gone down in history!

The cave was named in the late 1920's because of a unique formation in the back room. This is the biggest room yet discovered in the cave, with stalagtite and stalagmite fomations everywhere. On the left side of the room, up toward the top there is a HUGE formation shaped like an angel. I am currently looking for a good picture of this formation. Because of the size of the room, it is extremely difficult to get a clear shot of it.

Check out the various parts of the page. It is still very much under construction, so bear with me. I seemed to have misplaced my Angel Cave "bible", a book written by Frank Jesse in the late 1970's. Once I dig it up I will have much more geograpical information about the cave. May even be able to provide a map. But until then, enjoy the pictures, and check out the links page... it's loaded!


Entrance to Angel Cave. The hike to get here is enough to kill you!	Aaron Tate entering the cave. As you can tell, the mud was particularly bad this night.

Just beyond the entrance. The
limestone formations are breathtaking!
