Fishing on the AuSable River

It has been labeled the gateway to the Olympics and the High Peaks due to its proximity to Lake Placid, Keene, and Whiteface Mountain.

And with plenty of trails to wander, when you prefer to take it easy and snowshoe through Au Sable Forks you will have no problem enjoying yourself.

Once the snow melts away, horseback riding and camping sprinkle the landscape of rolling hills and historic homes. Nature lovers will take pleasure in the preserve that resides in Au Sable Forks New York. With over 130 species of birds and the home to the carnivorous pitcher plant, this nature haven is a must-see when visiting the Adirondacks.
