"Spellbinding" perfectly captures the allure
of Ice House Reservoir's terrain. Sunlit
ripples glisten on the water's surface,
while thick stands of conifer trees flank
the shoreline, providing ample shady spots
to relax.
Over time, the reservoir's gorgeous conifer
forest and craggy mountain landscape earned
it the moniker "Switzerland of California" -
a fitting title given the abundance of
outdoor recreation on offer. Whether your
passion is canoeing, kayaking,
paddleboarding, or hiking, you'll find it
all at this magnificent getaway.
The wide range of activities makes Ice House
a popular summer destination and premier
paddling retreat. After a leisurely paddle,
explore the 3.1-mile Ice House Mountain Bike
Trail, which winds along ridge tops and
rugged northern slopes, offering stunning
views of the reservoir and Crystal Range.
The gusty midday winds that frequently sweep
through the area attract numerous paddlers
in the mornings and windsurfers in the
afternoons. For those seeking a more relaxed
e xperience,
Ice House Reservoir provides the perfect
setting to unwind beside a crackling fire
and soak in the breathtaking scenery.
