One of my husbands and my first dates was to come here. We came back 10 years later with our daughter. It’s still a lovely set of hiking trails. Park water with you. The vending machines are $3 per bottle of water and several were out of order when we were there. I also suggest bringing snacks for little ones as the trails take a solid hour when walking at adult pace. If your kids are older, I highly recommend the adventure trail and the tubing. To be down the river is a lot of fun especially on a hot day. The adventure trail is a fun obstacle course and a great way to view the chasm. We didn’t get to do the lantern walk this time as our little one went to bed too early. Last time we were there we did it and loved it

Go on weekday as it is very less crowded. The entry fees was $20 per adult which is little expensive as compared to Glen Waltkins which is almost free. It is good if you go in a group and do the rafting too. They have a good parking spot. And shuttle service once you are done exploring the chasm. I am not sure if I will come back again with that entry fees.

We had to pay admission fee of 15 dollar per person to get into this place. The view was great. It was more of a walk than a hike. There were only a few areas where we had to walk up and down, mostly with stairs. It was a loop trail, and quite easy. The trail is only 1.9 miles but surrounded by particular view of water fall and canyon made by 500 million old rocks.

Awesome natural wonder! We stopped by in April so the attraction wasn’t fully open. We did the hike and it was amazing. Very cool how you can take a trail down onto the chasm and walk inside it. There seemed to be a lot more to do in season but just the hike itself was really cool. Definitely worth the trip!!

Questions & Answers

Where is there zipline around plattsburgh

Veronique Brown | Apr 26, 2019

Sorry, Ausable Chasm does not have any zip lines. For those looking for a bit more adventure than what our hiking trails and float tours have to offer we have two tyrolean traverses and two rappels on our rappelling tour and we also have an exciting via ferrata called the Adventure Trail. A via ferrata has similarities to a cable course, but still quite different. It contains several cable bridges that cross of the raging Ausable River as well as daring cliff walks and ladder rungs installed into he rock walls. Thank You

How long does the tube (not raft) tour take and is it guided?

D B | Apr 26, 2019
Amina Meniai | Apr 27, 2019

There is no guide, except at the spot where you have to get off before the rapids. You have to walk about 1 mile to arrive at the tubing station. As for the tubing itself, it depends on the winds and other things but I'd say about 1 hour...
