Bash Bish Falls from Bash Bish Falls State Park Trailhead in Massachusetts

Saturday, March 23, 2024 23:03

Bash Bish Falls, on the western edge of the Berkshire Mountains in Bash Bish Falls State Park is the tallest waterfall in Massachusetts. The Falls are accessible from two different trailheads, one in Massachusetts and one in New York. For this hike, we took the shorter, but much steeper route from the Massachusetts trailhead down to Bash Bish Falls, but not before we took a short side trip to a scenic overlook.

To access Bash Bish Falls from Bash Bish Falls State Park in MA, the trailhead parking is located on Falls Road (Route 344 in NY) just to the east of the Village of Copake Falls, NY and the NY/MA State line. From the trailhead, it’s an approximately 1/3 of a mile long hike to Bash Bish Falls, but it is worth taking the short hike out to the viewpoint overlooking the Bash Bish Creek valley and the Hudson Valley beyond. On a clear day, the Catskills are clearly visible to the west. The hike to the viewpoint is maybe a tenth of a mile, but it does climb steeply up some rocks right from the parking area and could be difficult for some. Good hiking shoes are very helpful here!

To get to Bash Bish Falls from the trailhead, the trail quickly and quite steeply descends immediately after the parking lot. Once you reach the falls, there’s a viewing area above the falls, and you can take a short trail and staircase down to the base of the falls. You’ll return the same way you came, this time with a heart pumping hike back up to the trailhead and parking area for a total of a 0.6 mile (2/3 of a mile) long hike.
