In the shadow of Whiteface Mountain, visitors to High Falls Gorge in Wilmington take a nature walk to view the Ausable River as it spills over ancient granite cliffs, formed over a billion years ago by the forces of ice, water and wind. Sturdy bridges, walkways and groomed paths allow visitors to enjoy self-guided tours to view the beautiful waterfalls, dark pools and one of New York's largest pot holes.
In the winter, come for a nature walk and see the spectacular ice formations on 700 feet of waterfalls. The snowshoe program for beginners and intermediate snowshoeing includes a one-mile trail and easy-to-use snowshoes for rent and sale. An in-house ski shop also rents alpine skiing equipment for use at Whiteface Mountain Ski Center.
