Outdoors | 5 Amazing Underground Waterfalls You Can Actually Visit

About 3 miles outside of Chattanooga, America's tallest underground waterfall lies hidden inside a limestone cave in Lookout Mountain.

And the discovery of Ruby Falls was entirely by accident. In 1928, chemist and cave enthusiast Leo Lambert was on a quest to open the already well-known Lookout Mountain Cave to the public. During a weekslong project of digging through limestone, Lambert and his crew accessed the cave and came upon a secret 145-foot-tall waterfall. Lambert named the stunning natural attraction after his high school sweetheart and wife, Ruby. A year later, he opened the waterfall to the public, and Ruby Falls has been a popular Tennessee attraction ever since. To access the falls, visitors take a glass elevator 206 feet down to the limestone cave floor, before embarking on a 1-mile guided tour circling the waterfall while learning the story of its discovery.
