Cardinal Karst

OTTAWA, ONTARIO
BACK

INFORMATION

The Cardinal Creek Kasrt is an area of limestone terrane characterized by sinks, ravines, and underground streams.
​

The Karst is now under the protection of the City Of Ottawa and the community of Cardinal Creek. We discovered this site years ago before such protection were set in place.

​Protection and preservation of the Karst were put in place due to nearby home construction and the fragile structure. As you can see in our photos, pieces of the Ceiling and Walls are falling apart. Therefore venturing inside would be trespassing and very hazardous.
