Owned by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, the Ausable River Cut Conservation  Area 32 acre road-side park on the Ausable Cut offers hikers a challenging 2 km loop trail over a high sand-dune – easy short-cuts are available.

A wheelchair accessible loop leads you through a Carolinian forest and also includes a viewing platform looking over the Ausable Cut. A large sand dune can be found at the halfway point (hiking clockwise will have you going down the dune). A gravel parking lot and washroom is available.  A smaller 0.5 km loop has a children’s Story Walk installed.
