Waterfall Hikes Near Taunton, MA
within 50 miles
Rhode Island supplies most of Taunton's waterfall list. The Blackstone River steps down through Pawtucket Falls and Woonsocket Falls, both viewable without leaving pavement, and Stepstone Falls out in the Arcadia woods gives you a 2.4 mile walk with the dog along. Danforth Falls is a half mile out and back. Nine falls in the radius, several of them, Sutton and Horseshoe included, listed without trail numbers. Old mill drops make up much of the list here, so expect history alongside the water.
