That is one way to describe the cave resources of Vancouver Island, home to more than 1,000 caves. At Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park you can experience the magic of the underground world in the caves protected within this unique park. The park was established in 1971 at the request of public caving groups on Vancouver Island who were concerned about the potential damage which could affect the caves and the fragile crystal formations they contained. A number of caves on the site had experienced significant use and extensive vandalism from disrespectful users.
