Cave Point in Winter

In the deep, dark depths of winter, Cave Point transforms from the home of summer-y, postcard-worthy lake views into what may feel like a different planet entirely. The constant waves crashing against the limestone cliffs, combined with the below-freezing temperatures, create massive icicles, extraordinary ice formations, and otherworldly ice sculptures that must be seen to be believed. Visitors marvel at the ice formations and the moody blues and grays of the lake while hiking, snowshoeing, building snowpeople, or searching the endless winter horizon.

Safety PSA: The ground at Cave Point can be very slippery, rocky, and uneven in winter. Visitors should wear proper footwear, observe all safety signage, and stay several feet away from edges and ledges.
