Dead Mouse Cave

Dead Mouse Cave is located in Southern Ontario near Lake Erie. The cave was discovered via a tip from a local resident. The cave consists of a twisty crawl passage approximately 40 feet long. After 40 feet there is a 6 inch high dam that for the moment has ended further exploration. From this point on the passage is flooded with 6 inches of water and appears to continue on for some distance. There is a nearby sink around 200 feet away that could possible be connected with this system, although the sink is full of farm debris.
