Lake Superior Ice Caves

The New York Times travel list of 52 Places to visit in 2019 include Ice Caves on the shores of Lake Superior which is just north of Stokely. The ice caves emerge from the winds and waves that pound the north shore of Lake Superior.   In cold winters--with high winds and large waves--wave spray and produce wonderful ice formations, including impressive overhangs and caves.  Colors from minerals in the rocks can appear in the ice and add to the beauty and fascination.

 

The eastern shore of Lake Superior is far enough north to have extreme cold spells.  It also faces the strong prevailing southwest winds and the mighty waves they produce.  The extent and size of these formations vary greatly from year to year.  The waves and the freeze-thaw-freeze cycles are also constantly reshaping them during the season.

 

Two popular places to view the ice caves and other ice features in mid-to-late February and early March are Saw Pit Bay and Coppermine Point. These sites are a 40-minute drive from Stokely Creek Lodge which includes its own beautiful frozen water fall and ice cliffs. 

​

Stokely Creek Lodge arranges guided tours for its lodge guests. The trip is a 45 minute drive with 2 to 2.5 hours of snowshoeing along the shore and to the cliffs.  Snowshoes are available to rent. The cost will be $110 per person plus tax and gratuities. There is a minimum of $200.

​

* The caves stretch for miles along the shore line. They are not easy to get to because of private property and lack of parking. If you are not from the area it is best not to try to venture out on the ice without a guide who knows the spots and can arrange parking.
