Sam's Point/Ice Caves
HISTORY
The name derives from a folktale in which a noted Spanish settler named Samuel Gonzales, pursued by Indians, jumped off the cliff to avoid capture and miraculously survived the drop with the trees breaking his fall, around the time of the French and Indian War.[1] Roads throughout the preserve were built as fire roads in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

PRO-TIP
So many other hikers have misbehaved in the past, the park now requires permits to park your car and hike. No permit, no entry and park rangers can be jerks about this. Get your $10 day pass here before you go. Or avoid the hassle and book a rydeshare on Outerthere.com.
