Short cave-and-river walk where the Roaring River emerges from a limestone cave system near Petersfield. The caves contain a small mineral spring and a freshwater sinkhole where guides invite visitors to swim in the blue water. One of Westmoreland's most visited nature attractions, managed entirely by the local community association.
