Whiteface Region

The Ausable River runs through the Whiteface Region, and with it comes a wide variety of fish species. While deep holes and wide sections provide ample opportunity for traditional fishing, fly fishing is where the Ausable earned its reputation. The West Branch is home to the elusive Brown Trout, while landlocked Salmon, lake trout, splake, bass, pike, walleye, perch, and sunfish swim in nearby waterways. There are several outfitters in Wilmington where you can rent or buy the gear you need, and guides are available for those wading into the water for the first time. What will your Whiteface Region fish story be?

Nearby, public trail networks give riders the opportunity to explore the lush wilderness surrounding Wilmington. No bike? No problem. Stop by one of Lake Placid’s bike shops – they’ll fit you with a rental so you don’t miss a thing!
