About Icecube Falls
Icecube Falls is a ephemeral in Nevada.
Fed largely by snowmelt, it runs hardest in late spring and early summer and can thin to a trickle by late season.
Plungeworthy rates Icecube Falls 3.6/10 — one for the list. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
A real place with a misleading listing: this is Ice Cube Canyon, also called The Maze — a technical canyoneering route, not a hike. Descending it means up to two dozen rappels, including one of about 190 feet, with a wetsuit recommended year-round for the lower narrows.
Despite the near-identical name and neighboring coordinates, it is a completely separate canyon from Ice Box Canyon. There is no walking route to any waterfall here — if you're not a roped, experienced canyoneer with a team, the falls next door at Ice Box, Lost Creek, and Pine Creek are your options.
Getting there
- Road
- Red Rock Canyon NCA Scenic Drive area
- Heads up
- Route beta lives on canyoneering sites, not here — this is not a hiking destination.
When to go
For canyoneers only, with appropriate conditions judgment — the canyon holds cold water year-round.
Rules & fees
- Fee / pass
- Red Rock Canyon NCA entrance fee and Oct–May timed-entry rules apply to reach the area
- Warnings
- Do not enter without full canyoneering gear, anchor-building skills, and an experienced team. Flash floods are lethal in slot canyons.

Before you go
The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
