BANGOR DAILY NEWS • September 20, 2023

The Ice Caves Trail is nestled in the Debsconeag Lakes Wilderness Area, which contains the highest concentration of pristine, remote ponds in New England. The abundance of glacial erratics along the trail is truly impressive. Numerous large boulders are scattered along the trail, forcing you to walk around them and marvel at their size. Depending on summer temperatures, ice can be present well into the summer, usually melting entirely sometime in August.
