WAHCONAH FALLS STATE PARK
Located in the heart of the Berkshire Hills, Wahconah Falls offers visitors spectacular scenic views anytime of year. Wahconah Falls Brook flows over several smaller tiered falls then cascades about 40 feet into a deep pool. The falls "roar," especially during spring run-off. Relax, picnic or fish in the shade of the northern hardwood-conifer forest, or take a hike on the 0.5 mile loop trail (moderate difficulty) through open woods and along upper portions of the falls.
Wahconah Falls State Park is located near North Adams, Pittsfield and Troy
Wahconah Falls State Park offers picnic tables and grills for visitors. Enjoy a meal amidst beautiful waterfalls and scenic views.
