Flume Falls Access

Flume Falls Access provides parking and trail access to view multiple scenic waterfalls on the West Branch Ausable River, including a series of drops in a narrow flume with striking straight rock walls.

The main parking area is located on the opposite side of Route 86 from the falls, with an unmarked but obvious trail leading down to viewing areas at the base of the cascades.

This is a popular spot for photography and short hikes, though swimming is possible but has been associated with drownings, and the area can get crowded on warm weekends.
