Even In the down pour , still absolutely beautiful đ

Wonderful experience - High Falls Gorge is doable for any age or athletic ability(or lack of). The views are stunning and the trails and walkways are the best you will find anywhere. Donât miss visiting.

High Falls Gorge was a great experience! The trails were easy to follow, and the views of the waterfalls were stunning. The walkways made it safe and accessible, while still feeling close to nature. Overall, a beautiful and relaxing stop near Lake Placid.

Beautifully kept private property, though the ticket price is a bit steep. Booking online saved 10%. We visited on Labour Day weekend (Sunday) and the parking lot was still empty at 9:15 a.m. The walk through the gorge takes about 1-1.5 hoursâjust enough to enjoy the vibe. The highlight was the clear, gushing water surrounded by lush forest, making the whole place feel peaceful and refreshing

Cool Trail with proper signs and explanations

High Falls Gorge is a straight-up scam. This is NOT nature â itâs a fenced-off, glorified boardwalk theme park built around one mediocre waterfall. They charge you almost $20 per person to walk less than a quarter mile. Twenty bucks for 0.25 miles?! Absolutely ridiculous.
This place exists to milk money out of tourists who donât know any better. Itâs laughable that theyâre selling ânatureâ behind a paywall. You donât experience the outdoors here â you get babysat by rails, signs, and fake âeducationalâ panels. If you came looking for a hike, or even a little adventure, forget it.
Whoâs this place really for? ⢠Parents dragging kindergarteners who canât handle a real trail ⢠People with serious mobility issues (and thatâs the ONLY valid reason to come here) ⢠Self-absorbed Instagram âinfluencersâ clogging up every corner with their butts in the frame, zero consideration for anyone else
Everyone else? Youâre being robbed. This isnât worth your time, your gas, or a single dime. The Adirondacks are FULL of real hikes and waterfalls â actual nature you can enjoy without being nickel-and-dimed.
Save your money. High Falls Gorge is a tourist trap, plain and simple.

It was a great walk. Afterwards we did the nature walk that they now have. I've been coming here since I was younger and it keeps getting better.

The falls impressed me more than I thought they would having been to Watkins glen and the finger lakes area. Short non committal trip and some great views. Easy parking, hold on tight to your phone. Lol. Tried some long exposure shots handheld from my phone

Nice forested walking loop. Make sure you take the trail down to the river at the parking lot to see the falls.
Beautiful falls, well maintained trails and bridges. Super friendly staff!

Great views and walk.

Very cool to see much smaller area of the gorge that you see compared to ausable chasm. Paths & trails well maintained. Doesn't take long to see the gorge area but there is a walking trail through the woods that adds some more time to the visit.
