Called the Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks, Ausable Chasm holds an assortment of Adirondack adventures like no other.
Hike, float and/or climb as you go back in time as you experience one of the oldest natural attractions in the United States (est. 1870). Soak up the primeval Adirondack forest as you stroll past waterfalls, caves, unique rock formations, towering sandstone cliffs and the eerie quiet of Mystic Gorge.
