Took a hike in September and ended up at the falls where we set up for a little picnic on some of the many flat rocks, and did some swimming. Great hike (always cool when you get to hike across state lines). Of course being a mountain stream the water is chilly but well worth it to take a dip. You can even swim over directly underneath the waterfall and take one a very high pressure shower.

A beautiful place to visit and hike. The Falls are wonderful and well worth the short hike to get there. The entire area is worth spending time in and investigating.

An easy hike up with other options for more extensive and intensive hikes. Family friendly environment and just by the border in between MA and NY

Nice hike! Two trail options available at different difficulty levels. The Mass. side of the park offers a slightly shorter, but steeper hike down to the waterfall while the NY side offers a flatter, wider but longer walk to the falls.
