The Midland Ice Caves Trail is one of New Brunswick’s most popular winter hikes and its not hard to see why! This lovely hike is located in Springfield, New Brunswick and certainly one that you’ll want to add your list of winter excursions.
The trailhead for the Midland Ice Caves is located on the Upper Midland road and right beside the intersection of Upper Midland road and Guthrie road. This is about 1 hour from Fredericton, 40 minutes from Saint John, and 1 hour from Moncton. Parking for this hike is along the road and hard to miss as there’s often plenty of vehicles parked there.
From the trailhead it is a 2.3km hike to the Ice Caves. I often bring a sled or GT as my son always appreciates getting the breake and theres a nice hill to sled down on the way back as well. The total hike was 4.5km out and back and should take around an hour and a half of moving time. It is upto you how long you would like to spend and enjoy the beautiful views at and inside the caves, but 30 minutes should be sufficient. Be sure to bring along your crampons as the last part to access the caves in down a steep slope that is ofter very icy. Ive seen plenty of people take the quick and painful slide down the slope, so be forewarned ..
This would be a great for families, friends and pets alike. You will likely encounter others on the trail due to the popularity and accessibility to such a beautiful ice structure. I would suggest heading out mid-week if you are looking to experience a less crowded trail.
I hope that this video serves as a trail guide for some and as motivation for all to get out and enjoy some waterfalls, mountains and hiking trails wherever you may be!
Happy Hiking🥾
