The Two Most Famous Caverns in New York Some people use the words cave and cavern interchangeably. Seasoned spelunkers understand the difference. A cave is an opening in a rock, large enough for human entry. A cavern is a larger, chemically formed cave or, in some cases, a series of interconnected caves. New York State houses many caves but few caverns. The state's most famous caverns are Howe Caverns, formed 6 million years ago, and Secret Caverns, formed 38,000 years ago. They are attractions you can explore and are within a short distance of each other in central New York.
