Bash Bish Falls
About This Trail
The hike is a gentle ascent from the parking lot up through the woods, with several rocks to step over, and follows a stream most of the way. There are several areas to access the shallow water. Partway through the hike you cross the NY/MA state line, marked by a sign. When you reach the waterfall, there is a place to stand and view it from above, then follow stairs down to the water to view from below, or scramble on rocks to get closer to the waterfalls. This hike is suitable for any age and skill level.
