My hubby and I hiked the green trail by ourselves shortly before 10:00 to 11:35 a.m. We appreciate the lady at the office for giving us ice cleats and showing us how to put on them on our winter boots/sneakers. Without the cleats, we may have likely slipped as the snow had turned into ice on parts of the trail. She advised us to stay on the green trail given that the yellow/orange and red were colder. It was a freezing 20 degrees Fahrenheit on February 21st even if the sky was blue and it was sunny. There is a porta potty by the gate and at the end of the green trail. Views of the Ausable Chasm have similarities with those of Watkins Glen. On our way out, we drove on the left side of the ticket/exhibit/gift shop/cafe building to the back. The views of the falls are also nice up close in the back. The cafe and gift shop are closed off season. The trail is open from 9:00 to 4:00. We saw the hundreds of stairs steps down on both sides of the chasm to reach its bed for hiking, boat and tubing.

The chasm is amazing to see. Really interesting how it drops off so far in such a short span of the river. Unfortunately, the whole place is privately owned so if you don't buy a ticket to do the boat float, or the zip line, or the tour, you really are limited to seeing what you can from the highway bridge. We arrived after hours and it was raining so we chose to just view what we could from the bridge.

We drove 2.5 hours north of Albany, NY, to go to Ausable Chasm. We opted to take the basic rafting tour of the Chasm, plus the River Walk tour. Two notes: Bring a complete change of clothes including footwear, to keep in your car, and closed-toe shoes are required for the River Walk tour. Our tour guide was Chase, was very informative and keen to ensure everyone's safety. The 2+ mile tour tour includes crossing two one-plank-wide suspension bridges, which is just scary enough to be fun. The rafting tour guides were Lydia and Caleb, who were informative and kept us laughing at the water sloshing in the raft. We were soaked from the waist down! We opted for the shuttle bus back to the Visitors' Center.

This did not disappoint!!!!! The one mile hike was just enough and you can end with a tube trip or float trip. Highly recommend the tube!!!! The cool river was a treat on a hot day! Guides were there along the way to help if needed, but easy and so much fun!!

My brother had never been to Ausable Chasm and loved it, of course. Gift shop had some good late season bargains. A very large Asian (probably Japanese) group was finishing a tour of the gorge when we arrived, smiles on most of their faces.

Im not sure I could write a fair review of Ausable Chasm. the 2 days before I went it rained including a vicious storm. The Ausable River was really wild and the Falls were amazing and quite vicious, However because of the storms the raft ride was not working. However the Falls and the River were really awesome and it was worth it to go. I just missed the raft ride

I loved Ausable Chasm. We had a great time. Due to the weather the riverwalk was closed, but we still had a great time on the trails. Great views. It took us around 2 hours to do the trails. Lots of spots to have picknick’s or take a break. At the end and shuttle buss brings you back to the parking. For 20$ would recommend!!!
