A 13-year-old kid named Ben Sands literally belly-crawled through a tunnel the width of a bike tire in 1905 and popped out into total darkness… only to realize he was standing beside a hidden underground sea so huge that the mudballs he tossed disappeared without a sound. Today we call it the Lost Sea, the biggest underground lake in North America, and even though the visible part is massive, divers keep finding endless underwater tunnels that stretch far beyond the mapped 13 acres. The caves around it are like a time capsule, holding Cherokee artifacts and even fossilized tracks from a giant Ice Age jaguar that once wandered through the darkness like it owned the place.
