The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance , in a room called “The Council Room” , many Indian artifacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery , arrowheads , weapons , and jewelry.

Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.
