Groundhog Cave, Washington County

Geology:

The cave is in the Tomstown Dolomite.

Description:

In the ridge east of Bowman Cave there is a small cave, the entrance of which was formerly a groundhog hole. Steam issuing from the opening on a cold winter morning disclosed the presence of the cave. The entrance was enlarged exposing a steeply sloping shaft which drops four feet into a triangular shaped room, ten feet long and four feet high. The passage trends southwest.
