The ice is still there, the walk is around 2.2 miles round trip (not a mile like the sign has said). Come prepared, it is extremely icy and you need ice tracks, cleats, or any other from of boot that is suitable for the icy conditions. Overall it is a beautiful peaceful hike. I definitely recommend going early in the morning when there are not as many people. Enjoy the hike and stay safe. It can get dangerous if you fall.

Insane experience. Ice cleats were absolutely a necessity, and we still ended up crawling a steep spot with our hands and knees (and sliding off on our rear ends). Took a little over an hour to reach it, but it was worth it. Pay attention to the path you take. Last 1/4 of it isn't marked well. Still a lot of the cave left even in late March.
Great ice structure to hike back to see. Must have actual ice cleats! The last 200 yards is rugged. Without ice cleats it us treacherous. Be courteous of the farmer who allows access across his field, about 1/4 to wood line. Then another 3/4 mile to caves.
We visited 2.13.21, the trail was pretty easy to walk (with ice cleats) it took us about 20-30min to get to the ice. Our group: 2 young adults, 11yr, and 6yr old (pretty healthy). I went a few years back with my older relative and it took us twice as long without ice cleats and walking slower. So please be mindful of your outdoor activity level and be prepared, wear snow pants so you can slide down some of the hills because there are a few, including one on the way back down from the ice caves.
Beautiful place to walk in the woods, beautiful scenery. Can be a bit treacherous footing at times with the slopes and hills. Highly recommend wearing foot gear for traction.
