Charles Town Cave — also formerly known as Crystal Lake Cave and Lakeland Cave — is located in the center of Charles Town, West Virginia, USA. [1] The entrance is in the cellar of a bakery and leads down to a passage about 175 feet long to a large pool of clear water about 25 feet in diameter.
The cave was discovered accidentally in 1906 and was for a time developed as a commercial show cave.
