Get ready for one of the most scenic walking experiences in the Adirondacks! Whether you’re exploring solo, with friends, or bringing the whole family, Ausable Chasm’s well-marked, self-guided trails offer a perfect blend of beauty, history, and adventure.
Wander through one to five miles of breathtaking terrain where each turn reveals a new vista. Along the way, discover interpretive signage highlighting the region’s native plants, local wildlife, and fascinating geologic story that dates back millions of years.
Enhance your adventure with a Float Tour—rafting or tubing through the heart of the Chasm—to create the ultimate Classic Tour experience.
As you explore, you’ll step back in time to a primeval Adirondack forest, where cascading waterfalls, towering rock formations, and ancient geology surround you. Highlights along the way include Rainbow Falls, Elephant’s Head, Column Rock, Hyde’s Cave, and the tranquil Mystic Gorge.
Descend deep into the Chasm on stone walkways, bridges, and stairways that bring you face to face with eons of natural history—carved in stone by the Ausable River itself.
Every step is a journey through time. Every view, a memory waiting to be made.
Add a float tour by raft or tube through the heart of the Chasm and turn your journey into our signature Classic Tour experience!
