Be sure to schedule a visit to Ausable Chasm during your stay! Breathtaking beauty just a short drive from our B&B.
This summer in New York, you can tube the Ausable River through the incredible Ausable Chasm as sandstone gorge walls tower hundreds of feet above you on both sides! Float tours are expected to open July 4, 2026, and the trip starts at Table Rock, a wide, flat rock ledge along the river where guides get you set up before you step into the water and begin your float. From there, you drift into the Grand Flume, the narrowest and deepest part of the chasm. Along the way, you’ll pass rock formations like the Sentry Box and Broken Needle, ride through small rapids, and glide by the swirling Whirlpool Basin. Helmets and life vests are provided, and the ride ends at a landing where you can hike back or take a trolley. Tubing is open to ages 8 and up, with height rules based on river levels, and you must wear secure footwear. Arrive early, as wait times often grow after 11 AM. Known as the “Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks,” this gorge was carved by the river over thousands of years. Sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and narrow passages make it one of the most dramatic natural spots in the Northeast.
