Experience the wildest adventure Horne Lake has to offer! This expedition presents a full exploration of Riverbend Cave, fromtop to bottom. It involves climbing, crawling, cable ladders and rappellingin a wild cave environment instructed by certified cave guides.

Begin your caving session 15 minutes early to gear-up and sign Liability Waivers. Afterwards, embark on a moderately strenuous uphill trail for 25 minutes (1 km), broken up by five informative stops. You'll see steep metal stairs at the entrance to Riverbend Cave, where you'll navigate in the cave over loose and slippery rocks. You must pass through three crawl passages, about the same size as crawling under a picnic table.

Descend the seven story Rainbarrel on rappel and visit the crystal-filledChina Shop at the very end of this amazing cave! You'll navigate several climbs back toward the surfaceincluding a wild cable ladder. This tour is not for the faint of heart!

The trip requires negotiating 5 different rope stations starting with a rappel of 5 metres, (15 ft.), climbing down a 5m. (15 ft.) cable ladder followed by a 8 metre (25 ft.) traverse line then a 20 metre (65 ft.) rappel, always secured by rope. Returning to the surface requires re-tracing your steps back up all the vertical drops, back through the siphon and the crawlways.

This fabulous adventure only runs a few months of the year. The tour usually includes a short "lights-out" session, before returning to the Visitor Center via steep downhill trail.

You must supply sturdy footwear and warm clothing. Participants must have recent rappelling experience, be 15 years or older and sign aLiability Waiver.
