Eben Ice Caves

With the huge amounts of snowfall the the Upper Peninsula receives our snowshoeing season begins early! One of our favorite snowshoe destinations is the Eben Ice Caves of Rock River Canyon Wilderness Area. Located near Eben Junction, this hike meanders through a wooded area for about twenty minutes to where the snowshoer will access the ridge of the canyon. Follow the ridge a short distance where you will come upon the top of the ice caves. Follow the trail around to the base of the caves where you can walk behind this impressive ice sheet!
