High Falls Gorge Potholes are a geologic highlight within the privately operated High Falls Gorge near Wilmington, New York, just outside the Adirondack High Peaks. Carved over thousands of years by the rushing Ausable River, these deep, cylindrical potholes were formed by swirling glacial meltwater and sediment. Today, you can view them safely from sturdy walkways and glass-floor platforms that follow the edge of the gorge. Interpretive signs explain the area's unique geology and the erosive power behind these formations. It’s a short, accessible outing perfect for those curious about the raw forces that shaped this dramatic stretch of river.
