About This Trail
A gorge-rim trail through Ausable Chasm, a 500-million-year-old sandstone gorge carved by the Ausable River near Lake Champlain. The dramatic vertical walls plunge up to 150 feet with bridges and overlooks along the route. One of the oldest natural tourist attractions in the United States, operating since 1870.
