Parts of Ice Mountain are barren, but the majority of the ridge is covered in mountain laurel ("Kalmia latifolia"), sweet birch ("Betula lenta"), and Virginia pine ("Pinus virginiana"). Old growth species include chestnut oak ("Quercus prinus"), sweet birch ("Betula lenta"), and Eastern white pine ("Pinus strobus"). Ice Mountain's tree canopy also consists of sugar maple ("Acer saccharum"), American tulip poplar ("Liriodendron tulipifera"), shagbark hickory ("Carya ovata"), eastern black oak ("Quercus velutina"), black gum ("Nyssa sylvatica"), American sycamore ("Platanus occidentalis"), black cherry ("Prunus serotina"), linden ("Tilia americana"), white ash ("Fraxinus americana"), and black walnut ("Juglans nigra").
