Coopers Cave

Cooper’s Cave is named after the author, James Fenimore Cooper. In 1825 after returning from exploring the Adirondacks and inspired by “these dark and silent caves” in the heart of the Hudson River, Cooper took pen in hand to write his most famous and beloved novel, The Last of the Mohicans. Located under the Cooper’s Cave bridge, which connects the Village of South Glens Falls and the City of Glens Falls, is a viewing platform adjacent to the cave with information on James Fenimore Cooper and the Mohican Tribe.
