Bridal Cave, a limestone cave near Camdenton in Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks, has drawn visitors since the 1850s for its speleothem formations and mineral colors. Though nearly a mile long, only about a quarter is open because underground lakes block the rest. Its name comes from a story published by former owner R.G. Scott in 1933 about rival Osage families, abduction, death, and a cave wedding. The cave’s tiny entrance and interior passages were later enlarged for tourism, with tours opening in 1948 and expanding in 1990. Known for features such as the Bridal Chapel, the pipe organ, and Mystery Lake, it has also become a notable wedding site.
