Ausable Chasm is a fun, interesting nature experience. We opted for the Explorer tour, which lets…read moreyou walk across two very safe suspension bridges (wide plank walkway, high net walls) and culminates in your choice of tube or raft ride. Word to the wise - opt for the tubes. The line for the raft ride took forever - 90 mins (longer than it took us to walk to that spot). They don't have enough guide staff, so the same guys who take the rafts downriver then have to load up the rafts at that end and get driven back to the starting point. I thought perhaps that was bc we went 8/21 and a lot of college kids are back in school, but another review from June here said same thing. The tubes don't need a guide so the line goes faster. You will get wet in those, not really in the raft although you can't avoid wet feet. Still, we really enjoyed the experience - it worked for our mix levels of adventure seeking kids. We did not opt to do the more adventurous course w/ clip lines, etc. Would definitely advise getting there first thing for all, bc sometimes there were people clipped to side of mountain trail, but having to wait to move forward b/c of people in front of them. I don't think I'd like to have to keep my feet on a small jutting rocks while waiting to move. Also for those who have difficulty with knees/stairs or need flat surfaces even the walking path can be challenging.

We went in August. They say May is even a better time as the water level is higher and you can kayak on top of the trees.

We biked here from out in Mile End so after a hectic ride through the city, arriving on this island was heaven.

People are here fishing, walking, kayaking and generally relaxing. I didn't find any earth shattering views or anything like that, but a real sense of peace really close to the heart of the city.

A group of six of us went out this weekend and had an incredible time. The friendly and professional owner (and his adorable pup) were very detailed in mapping out which canals to take and where to go when others had dried up, he'd even given us a laminated map to take with us. We showed up around noon or so and with filling out the waivers and paying, he had us on the water in less than 15 minutes! The scenery of the Ausable River, the bridges, and the exposed fallen trees were an outstanding preview to the breathtaking Lake Champlain and mountain views. The map led us to the sandy beaches near the local campground, plenty of space on the coast to feel like you have your own beach! Would definitely recommend doing the 4 hour trip as it gives you ample time to enjoy the beaches without needing to rush back. Highly recommend and can't wait to return.

The boat flipped up and I fell from the raft onto a rock. I landed face first but managed to take the brunt of the impact on my shoulder / arm. I was pressed to sign a release form saying "Refused treatment" while I was dripping wet, shivering and in shock. -- Not cool. After I came to my senses, I asked to be taken to a hospital but was told no driver was available. -- Not cool. Later, when my friend was later injured on the same rock (cut to arm resulting in a strong flow of bright red blood), our guide was nowhere to be found. On the shore, it was me, with my injured arm, who administered first aid. Don't be fooled -- you can be seriously hurt while rafting. If you are hurt I would not expect this company to do anything for you in terms of first aid. Last but not least, when doing safety demonstrations, our guide reached straight for the most diminutive woman, out of four, with our group of 20. He then proceeded to show how you would pull someone into the raft, roll them over etc... ie a lot of body contact and touching -- without seeking consent from the woman ("I am going to take hold of your life jacket and pull up. OK?"). This should be an immediate red flag.
