At 175 ft, Doane's Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in Massachusetts — a tiered waterfall worth seeking out.
Doane's Falls sits on Lawrence Brook. You'll find it in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is protected within The Trustees of Reservations.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Royalston, the closest town.
When to go: Spring snowmelt (Apr-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Doane's Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
