Ausable Chasm Festival of Lights

See the Chasm in a Whole New Light

You know what Ausable Chasm is like in the summer... but have you ever wondered what happens to the Chasm in winter?

This winter, experience Ausable Chasm like never before.

Beginning at the Welcome Center, set out on a nighttime journey that takes you across to the Gatehouse and into four uniquely illuminated worlds hidden among the wooded trails of Ausable Chasm.

Each world has its own atmosphere, its own character, and its own way of transforming the winter landscape through light.

It's a half-mile, self-guided celebration of nature and light—and a side of Ausable Chasm you've never experienced before. An outdoor winter walking experience. Please dress for the weather; warm layers, hats, and gloves are recommended. Footwear should provide good traction and weather protection appropriate for winter trail conditions.
