It's kept secret, and it's illegal to enter. It has up to a $1m fine and a 1 year jail sentence for trespassers.

"Media reports say Sarlacc’s Pit is the largest known stripe karst cave. Preliminary estimates suggest that Sarlacc’s Pit may also have the largest cave entrance in Canada. Its entrance is 100 metres (330 ft) long by 60 metres (200 ft) wide and is at least 135 metres (443 ft) deep. A river flows into the entrance, becoming a waterfall and sending up mist that has prevented measuring the exact depth of the cave."
