Cody Caves are a network of limestone caves in the Selkirk Mountains near Ainsworth Hot Springs and are protected by Cody Caves Provincial Park. Approximately 800 m (875 yards) of the Cody Caves passageways are explorable. The caves have several types of calcite formations, such as stalagmites, stalactites, soda straws and flowstone and the Ainsworth Hot Springs originate from the caves.
Cody Caves Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. It was formed in July 1966 to protect the Cody Caves and was the first subterranean park in British Columbia. The park is 13 km (8.1 mi) by road, northwest from the hot springs community of Ainsworth Hot Springs on Kootenay Lake.
