A multi-tiered series of cascades on Chapel Brook in the 173-acre Chapel Brook Reservation in Ashfield, managed by The Trustees of Reservations. The falls are reached within roughly a tenth of a mile of the trailhead off Williamsburg Road.
Its water comes from Chapel Brook. You'll find it in Franklin, Massachusetts. It is protected within Chapel Brook Reservation (The Trustees of Reservations).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Ashfield, the closest town.
When to go: Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
