I just searched for this info, nothing. Wiki doesn't mention it. But I did find local caverns where tourists can visit. May be the same caves.

Its not. I am aware of most of the well known caves since the establishment of Floyd co. None of the caves around here are over 300ft deep. There are several civil war magazines scattered around and the tourist cave you speak of is in cave spring. It is on the old property of James Vann and was a known cave by native americans, predating this article.

[h=2]State-owned Caves[/h] Some of Georgia's caves are within state-owned parks and reserves. Sitton’s Cave, in Cloudland Canyon State Park (gastateparks.org), is a river cave with numerous interesting rock formations. The huge entrance portal narrows to a two-foot high crawl, before opening up into a large room. It is bitterly cold inside, and most of the time you are walking through water. Permits are required, and parking is available at Lookout Mountain. Crockford-Pigeon Mountain Wildlife Management Area (n-georgia.com) also has several caves, including Ellison’s Cave, which offers two of the deepest vertical drops in the U.S. -- “Fantastic,” at 586 feet, and “Incredible,” at 440 feet. This dangerous cave is only suitable for experienced cavers with proper equipment.
