The Ausable River Trail is a shaded path through southern Ontario’s Carolinian forest, with steep banks, tall trees, and quiet stretches along the river. The route includes some muddy sections and minor bushwhacking, especially near Mystery Falls, a secluded 5-metre waterfall tucked beneath an overhanging rock ledge just a few steps off the trail. It’s a relatively moderate trail with a few scrambly spots, so it’s best tackled with good footwear to enjoy exploring this beautiful area.
