The Wilmington Flume is a long, narrow gorge that forms on the West Branch of the Ausable River where three distinct waterfalls can be found.

The first falls is at the head of the Flume. Known to some as Flume Falls, it is approximately 10 feet tall. Flume Falls is viewable from one of the parking areas for a large trail system on the river's northwestern bank. A second unnamed fall is formed where the river is split by a large rock, dropping approximately 12 feet. As the river flows through the gorge, it comes to its final drop over a 15-foot ledge, known to some as Flume Pool Falls. The turbulent waters come to a sudden ease in a large pool. This final spot is also a popular swimming hole, but use caution; high water can create deceptively powerful currents.
