Ausable Chasm - Adventures in the Adirondacks Explore the Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks. Come visit Ausable Chasm for an assortment of adventures you will not find at any other single location in the Adirondacks. 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). Immerse yourself in a primeval Adirondack forest as you stroll past Rainbow Falls, Elephant's Head, Column Rock, Hyde's Cave and the eerie quiet of Mystic Gorge. Descend hundreds of feet to walk on natural stone walkways and gaze upon eons of geologic history etched in stone.
Grand Canyon of
the Adirondacks May-October, Open Daily November-April, reservations required
Most visitors opt for the popular two-part Classic Tour that includes a breathtaking hike through the upper chasm followed by a scenic float (via raft) through the lower chasm on the legendary waters of the Ausable River. Looking for more adventure? Try our Adventure Trail via ferrata located in the Upper Chasm. This family friendly (ages 8+) trail contains cliff walks and other daring elements such as cable bridges that crisscross over the roaring Ausable River. View the stunning Elephant's Head up close and personal and journey through Hell's Gate while en route to the breathtaking Inner Sanctum trail. Experience a Winter Tour at Ausable Chasm Ausable Chasm, a popular summer destination since 1870, is now offering spectacular winter tours. If scenery and tranquility are your passions, you have come to the right place. Avoid the summer crowds: you could possibly have the entire park to yourself! View gigantic icicles that tower 150' above the Ausable River and a chasm blanketed in snow (as conditions allow). Descend into the depths of the chasm to explore the rock and ice formations along the popular Inner Sanctum Trail (only available with guided tour). One and two-hour guided winter tours are available and reservations are required. All visitors must wear snowshoes or ice cleats for safety, depending on how much ice and snow has accumulated. Rentals are available for $5 per day if you do not have your own. When conditions allow, self-guided admissions are allowed along the Rim Trail only. To guarantee chasm entry for your visit we highly recommend reserving one of our guided tours today!

Hiking Trails
The High Peaks area continues to see increasing numbers of hikers, increased congestion and decreasing opportunities for solitude. While the rising number of visitors to these areas has resulted in trail erosion and damage to vegetation in heavily used areas, many nearby areas continue to see relatively light use, less trail damage and improved opportunities for solitude.

UPPER SARANAC LAKE the largest of the Saranacs, offers 37 miles of shoreline and stirring views of the distant High Peaks, as well as 20 primitive campsites available on a first come basis. The numerous ponds to the west of the lake are ideal for short paddles, or as starting points for longer trips into the Saranacs.
MIDDLE SARANAC LAKE features numerous islands and some of the finest natural beaches in the area. Paddle north to Weller Pond, a lovely and secluded wilderness pond. There are five campsites on Weller Pond and twenty on Middle Saranac, both on islands and on the shore. LOWER SARANAC LAKE is our favorite for family day trips, with numerous access points and convenient boat and canoe rentals. Given its proximity to the village of Saranac Lake downtown is one mile from Ampersand Bay, the Lower Lake is ideal for easy day tripping. One popular trip begins in Lower Saranac, continues down the Saranac River, through Oseetah Lake and Lake Flower to the boat launch downtown. For overnight excursions, there are over 55 campsites located on the islands and on shore. NOTE: The 87 campsites on Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes comprise the Saranac Lake Island State Campground, maintained by the New York State DEC. All

sites are accessible by boat only, and there is a fee for camping on these sites. Reservations may be made via the internet at ReserveAmerica.com. Or by Calling 800/456-2267. THE ST. REGIS CANOE AREA A pond hopper’s paradise located approximately 15 miles northwest of the village of Saranac Lake. The St. Regis is the largest wilderness canoe area in the Northeast U.S., offering some of the most stirring and serene paddling to be found anywhere. The Canoe Area is easily accessed, making for a great selection of half day, full day, and multi day excursions. We recommend the historic “Route Of The Seven Carries,” beginning at Little Clear Pond and ending at Upper St. Regis Lake. You can camp along the way, or do the trip in an easy day! There are numerous primitive campsites throughout the Canoe Area which are available on a first come basis. Note that motor boats are not permitted on these waters.

Our Story - Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is a nonprofit organization, begun in 2009, which creates and maintains hiking and cross-country ski trails in the Champlain Valley that link communities, connect people with nature, and promote economic vitality. In its short history, CATS has developed 42 miles of trails. Some of those trails will be part of a 30-mile trail loop between Westport and Essex. CATS is working to create trails that make it possible for people to “Hike the Lake” by walking from hamlet-to-hamlet. CATS longterm plans include extending the trail system to neighboring towns around Lake Champlain and eventually connecting them to trails in the Adirondack Mountains, Vermont, and Quebec. Enjoyment of CATS’ trails depends on conserving the Valley’s scenic vistas, natural areas, farms, businesses, and communities. The CATS Board recognized this and formed The Champlain Valley Conservation Partnership Project (CVCP) as a program for CATS to protect farms, forests, and clean water, promote local farming, sustainable forestry, and historic hamlets, and develop outdoor education and outdoor recreation-based tourism initiatives. Thus, CATS focuses on trails and through its CVCP program, it conserves land, increases understanding of nature, promotes outdoor recreation, and enhances economic vitality. The Champlain Valley is a beautiful landscape of farms, forests, low mountains, charming hamlets, and breathtaking views. Unfortunately, the Valley has little public land and few hiking trails which combine to limit the economic benefits and pleasures of outdoor recreation. CATS – CVCP is addressing this problem by developing trails, conserving land, and promoting tourism, local farms, and businesses.
