About Bridge Lake Ice Caves Parking Lot
The Bridge Lake Ice Caves trail network consists of a 2 km low mobility trail loop through the forest to a couple of viewing platforms on an escarpment overlooking the southern shore of Bridge Lake. There are several small "caves" or holes present in the escarpment, and local historians and storytellers report that early settlers to this area would harvest ice from the depths of these caves to keep their food cold. It is not uncommon to find ice within these caves even in late summer.
