Review & FAQ:

Named after the namesake waterfall, Bash Bish Falls State Park is a fine outdoor space to go exploring while in Massachusetts.

Bash Bish Falls is of course the park’s main feature, attracting crowds from all over the U.S., and is the highest single-drop waterfall in the entire state at 60 feet.

The state park was established in 1924 and comprises several gorges as well as an eastern hemlock ravine forest.

You can spend time hiking to the site of the waterfall, and though swimming is prohibited there, there are a number of streams and rock pools which you can swim in.

Other activities include fishing and wildlife viewing - you may come across black bears, timber rattlesnakes, and porcupines.
