A 40-foot cascade on Wahconah Falls Brook within Wahconah Falls State Park in Dalton, reached by a short walk of under 500 feet from the parking area. A half-mile loop above the falls offers additional views.
At 40 ft, it stands above roughly 33% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Wahconah Falls Brook. You'll find it in Berkshire, Massachusetts. It is protected within Wahconah Falls State Park (MA DCR).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Because it sits right off the road, it makes an easy stop on a longer trip and works for visitors with limited time or mobility. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Dalton, 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.
