If you know any cavers that live in Corsicana and are looking for
something to do,
here are the coordinates to "Carey Lake Cave" in Cherokee County which is
about a 45 minute drive southeast of Corsicana.
31.957710, -95.435907
That is accurate to within a few feet.
31°57'27.8"N 95°26'09.3"W

All the locals know about it.
It only goes a few feet, but I think you could call it a real sandstone cave.
I think it has been 27 years since I was there. 2 Houston cavers,
went there about
10 years ago, and reported it was still there.
Tom Warden ( a Texarkana caver back in the 70's ) reported it to the
TSS, but the notes
I saw that led me to the cave, mentioned it had lots of rumors of more
passage. But it
is hard to tell if that were ever the case. A logging road was built
over the cave.
This is the only cave in Texas where you might get bit by an
alligator, but still highly unlikely.
Disclaimer: Google Earth labels the lake ( actually a large pond )
as "Cary Lake"
