Description

Bash Bish Falls is the highest single-drop waterfall in the state at 59 feet. Take a hike and enjoy a picnic on the rocks. Explore the neighboring wilderness at Mt. Washington State Park, or cross the border into New York's Taconic State Park.

Short Hike: The falls can either be accessed from a short hike beginning in Taconic State Park in New York or Bash Bish State Park in Massachussetts. Either way, it is a simple hike with a rewarding view especially in the fall where colors are at their peak mid October or so.

About a 40 minute trail to the falls and back from the Massachusetts side. That being said, it's a relatively steep trek, so he careful going down…
