About High Falls Gorge

High Falls Gorge is a well-maintained area with a short, kid-friendly trail walk that offers stunning views of the Ausable River waterfalls. This privately owned attraction features a safe and scenic walkway along the water, making it a great way to spend the day with family. The nature walk has limited stairs and is a relatively short commitment, providing a big payoff with breathtaking views during any season. Visitors find the trails and walkways to be the best they will find anywhere, making the experience accessible for any age or ability. The walkways are safe and make visitors feel close to nature, with easy-to-follow trails and beautiful scenery. While the admission price may be higher than expected, many feel it is worth it for the unique and beautiful experience. The hike is suitable for beginners and families, and it is recommended to try the longer loop trail for those with better fitness and good walking shoes. However, some guests have noted that parts of the trail may be closed at times, which could affect the overall experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful and relaxing stop near Lake Placid, with a peaceful vibe created by the gushing water surrounded by lush forest.

Beautiful quick hike.
Waterfalls were amazing.
A must see if you are visiting ADK. We go every time we are in the area. They have done an outstanding job at upkeep of the bridges and walk ways, the signs with information are absolutely top tier. Staff and gift shop were great too!
Nice stop before Whiteface
