A few times each winter, Basin Pond and the nearby river and wetlands flood and freeze, producing an” icescape” several square miles in size. This beautiful and varied icy landscape is all but inaccessible to skiers, snowshoers, or hikers but can be explored on a bike — provided the bike is fitted out with studded tires.

The video above was shot over several seasons and features ice biking on Basin Pond, the Marsh Stream, and parts of the Jones Bog. Interested in ice biking Basin Pond? Let us know, and we’ll put you on an email list to let you know next time conditions are just right!
