The Ice Glen is a ravine in the southeast area of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. The park is essentially a lush, untended, romantic landscape consisting of piled rocks thick with mosses. Ice Glen derives its name from the fact that, ice can persist at the bottom of deep rock crevices there into the summer. Its north-south orientation protects the glen from much direct sunlight. Surrounding the glen is an old growth forest, rare in New England.

Herman Melville referred to this part of the Berkshires in his novel, Moby Dick (written in nearby Pittsfield) 

"It was a wondrous sight. The wood was green as mosses of the Icy Glen; the trees stood high and haughty, feeling their living sap; the industrious earth beneath was as a weaver’s loom"

The trailhead can be found at the end of Park Street in downtown Stockbridge. The hike begins on the stone bridge. Upon reaching the fork, the right trail takes you to Ice Glen, the left takes you to Laura's Tower from which you can take in views of Massachusetts, New York and Vermont.

Difficulty level: Moderate to difficult
