A multi-tiered set of cascades on Race Brook totaling roughly 200-300 feet of drop on the slopes of Mount Everett in the southern Berkshires. The Race Brook Falls Trail climbs steeply past the falls toward the Appalachian Trail.
At 300 ft, it stands above roughly 93% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Race Brook Falls sits on Race Brook. You'll find it in Berkshire, Massachusetts. It is protected within Mount Everett State Reservation.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 3.9 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Sheffield, the closest town.
When to go: spring through fall. 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.
