Review:
The Glendale Falls are among the tallest waterfalls in Massachusetts, found where the smaller Glendale Brook tumbles into the Westfield River.
A moderate to strenuous quarter mile hike leads from the trailhead to the base of the falls. Surrounding forests are canopied by beech, birch and hemlock trees with maple, mountain laurel and witch hazel beneath. Cross Clark Wright Road to follow a slightly longer trail through a natural wet meadow that parallels Glendale Brook.
While open year round, the spring is the best time to visit the falls. Westfield River is a federally designated Wild and Scenic River, which preserves its free-flowing condition to protect wildlife.
