Lost River

Lost River is a small, mysterious underground river system that flows beneath the Earth's surface. It is typically found in limestone or other soluble rocks where water has carved out underground channels over thousands of years. These subterranean waterways often emerge unexpectedly as springs or contribute to the flow of surface rivers, creating complex underground landscapes. Lost Rivers can be difficult to find and study because they are hidden beneath the ground, but they play a vital role in regional water cycles, supporting ecosystems and sometimes supplying groundwater for human use.
