The Nutty Putty Cave is a hydrothermal cave located west of Utah Lake in Utah County, Utah, United States. The cave attracted amateur and professional cavers alike despite its narrow passageways. It has been permanently closed to the public since 2009, following an accident that killed 26-year-old John Edward Jones. Before that, it was popular among Boy Scout troops and college students.
