Hike to
Ritchie Ledges (Ice Box Cave), Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
View Original Description
The 1.0 mile hike to Ritchie Ledges (Ice Box Cave) in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio takes about an hour. The cool, moist hemlock and yellow birch forests along the towering sandstone Ritchie Ledges benefit from a microenvironment formed near the over 300-million-year-old rock formations. Enormous blocks of the orange and yellow rock have broken off and make you feel like you're walking in the rock garden of a giant. It is open daily from dawn to dusk.
Note: Ice Box Cave is closed on the trail in an effort to slow the spread of a disease to our bat population.
Parking located in lot off Truxell Road/Kendall Park Road, 1 mile west of Akron Cleveland Road
