Path to the Day Mountain Caves  described in 1911 by Frank Damrosch, member of the Seal Harbor VIS Path Committee. The entrance of the cave was enlarged to make it more accessible. As described in the 1915 path guide, two ladders were installed to allow walkers to climb up through the cave to the top and on up to the summit of Day Mountain. The ladders have  been removed.
