Descent
A Thrilling Underground Cave Horror Adventure
Unparalleled Horror Experiences
Awe inspiring rock formations, water caverns, and many more wonders have attracted people to Descent for years... Now, even more discoveries have been made... If you're able to survive the journey through the claustrophobic Spider Cave and across the 50ft Steel Bridge Over Water, you'll descend into an astonishing cave system 12 feet underground (yes, actually). Although you're surrounded by wondrous beauty once making it through the sewers, you'll soon realize that the crawly things lurking in the dark are far more evolved from human nature than you imagined!
Can You Escape the Caves?
Further exploration reveals that the cave systems of Descent are crawling with Albino Creatures, Abominable Spiders, Bats, and much more... Utilizing the Underground Tunnels and Caves to their advantage, you never know which direction they may come from next! Once you trek through the underground darkness and new-found ("abandoned") excavation site, you'll discover EXTRAORDINARY BEAUTY in the ALL-NEW and Breathtaking RELIC! This Underground journey is worth the descent to uncover the beauty that lies beneath. The question is, are you up for the task? Prepare to experience Descent; an underground, over-water, and perilous attraction like no others in the Carolina's, now BIGGER and BETTER than EVER at Lake Hickory Haunts Haunted Attraction and Theme Park. Come Experience Descent and 12 other attractions at Lake Hickory Haunts!
Descent is truly an underground attraction. When used, the words "cave" and "underground" should be interpreted literally. If you have a legitimate unmanageable phobia of being underground or of cave systems, please see a Lake Hickory Haunts customer management representative so we may assist you in bypassing this attraction.

Attraction Update:
Descent Expansion
The last section of our underground (Yes, it's actually underground!) attraction, Descent, is being expanded once again after the new 50ft overwater steel bridge and Spider Cave two years ago with an all-new massive abandoned mine and a cavern known as "The Relic"! Be prepared to experience the scares in the eerie, creature-ridden caves like never before. Don't let the beauty and realisticness of the stalactites and all-inspiring cave formations distract you from the bat caves, spiders, and abominations hiding all around you, waiting to strike!
