Why choose a trail at Bash Bish Falls?

The Bash Bish Falls are located in the town of Mount Washington, Massachusetts, in the Berkshire Mountains. The falls are a series of cascades and rapids on the Bash Bish River, which drops about 170 feet (52 m) from the top of the ridge to the bottom. The falls are part of the Mount Washington State Forest and are open to the public.

The Bash Bish Falls were formed by the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet at the end of the last ice age. The falls were originally much higher, but have been gradually eroded by the Bash Bish River over time. The river drops over a series of ledges and cataracts, with the main drop being about 170 feet (52 m) from the top of the ridge to the bottom.
