The Old Ausable Channel is a remnant of the historic Ausable River that was cut off from the main river in 1875 when a new channel was created to improve drainage into Lake Huron. Today, this beautiful, calm, narrow waterway winds through Pinery Provincial Park, supporting one of the most biologically diverse freshwater ecosystems in Canada, including numerous rare fish, reptiles, and aquatic plants. This is a great spot to stop, appreciate its beauty, and watch for Great blue herons who may be quietly hunting along its sheltered banks.
