Ausable lake

Elevation: 2465 ft

Ascent: 1100 ft

Round-Trip Distance: 6.6 miles

Location: Adirondack Mountain Reserve property, Saint Huberts.

The trail to the Lost Lookout can be the same as the West River trail to Beaver Meadow Falls. (see East/West River Trails - AMR) You can continue over the high point to a view of Rainbow falls through some trees and then down to the Lower Ausable lake at its dam.  The Lake road may be utilized for an easy walk out.

So many trails lead to many of the big mountains in this area that one forgets that sometimes the less traveled trails offer more surprises and greater rewards.
