Ice Caves
There are numerous ice caves near Wilson Lake located off of Hwy 36. These caves provide hours of exploration for those that can withstand tight spaces and cold. These caves are created by lava and go upwards of hundreds of feet into the earth. They can display lots of ice in early summer and always show off neat rock displays. A powerful flashlight and warm clothes are a must. It is recommended that someone show you the way your first time as these caves can be dangerous and hard to find.
