Waterfall Hikes in Massachusetts (MA)
to explore
Massachusetts' waterfalls are concentrated in the Berkshire and Taconic uplands, the rolling central hardwood hills and river valleys, featuring steep stream-cut gorges, glacially scoured ledges, and wooded ravines that produce modest cascades and drops. Most hikes are short to moderate trail walks or streamside scrambles with a handful of drive-up and easy family-friendly options, and the state is distinctive for the accessibility of its seasonal, spring-fed falls close to towns and historic landscapes.
