Ice cave sits on the former Ice Cave Road 1/2 way between Dunning Springs and Quarry Hill Road. The stone steps leading up to the cave are alone worth a visit. But ice cave isn't just it...there are about 8 miles of hiking trails running the hillside above the cave, between Dunning and Quarry Hill Road. To access them, head to Dunning Springs, and when looking at the water fall, look for the trail to the right (east) and head up the hill to the lookout. Once you're at the lookout, continue on east toward Quarry Hill Road. There are a ton of trails and not much of it makes sense, but if you're looking for several hours of fantastic hiking, look no further!
