back in the early 70's i had a summer job at the coca cola plant in northampton. i would go as a helper on a large truck which left the plant at around 5 am to go up to the berkshire. we would get our work done as quickly as possible,suffering in the summer heat.we would then go pick up lunch and head over to waconah falls to lay in the water for a couple hours and then head back to the plant for 3:30. it was great!!
I am now living far away from Western Mass. but, I grew up in this area, and miss this very much, such a beautiful area, thank you so much fir posting this great video!👍🇺🇸

As a New Englander from New Bedford, Ma I love our part of America. We have it all here, the ocean, huge state forests and miles of streams , brooks and waterways . Living in Maine and experiencing the ice out with huge ice bergs that take out metal span bridges was amazing. God has blessed us.
Wow, we've got something like 200 waterfalls in Hamilton, Ontario. It's right near the Niagara escarpment so theres just a huge elevation change. But with that being said, our waterfalls are all sedimentary rock, whereas yours are granite. In my opinion, that makes it so much cooler! Cheers.
I have family in nearby Hillsdale,NY,so I was already familiar with Bash Bish falls.Great to learn about the others.Definitely will try to visit some in my travels through western Mass.
I particularly love this one for the serenity and beauty. I used to picnic with my family at Bash Bish Falls. Now I most often go to Mt. Everett and Guilder Pond. Can't wait to get back to Bash Bish...it's a treasure.
Hi AJ, you're very welcome. And thank you for appreciating the beauty of our region, we're lucky to still have the undeveloped land that we do. It needs to be permanently preserved and cherished.

That leaner oak at Campbell falls I have one like this in my yaaaaahd Hard to imagine the stress on the roots. Some mighty clean cold water at bashbish
One of the largest and most beautiful falls is on Otis. It’ starts at the north end of the Otis Reservoir. It’s a twin falls and is truly breathtaking.
Are those trees in the video significant maybe the video doesn't do them justice for size. We have countless trees older and bigger here in the South. In fact the ones they pointed out in the video would go almost unnoticed as just above average, there are bigger hardwood trees here especially Tullip trees are formidable and are often found in groups and some hickory and oaks.
Our trees are pretty damn big lol! But I've done a bit of research on the topic so I'd figure I'd share :). Trees in the north were essentially "designed" differently. & by that, I mean that theres been different evolutionary pressures on them. Trees in the South don't have to "worry" about snow loading. A big constraint to the lateral size of our trees in the north is the heavy snow and ice. But there are so many factors like this... Another one is "how tucked away" the growing site is from wind and storm.. because thats a huge limiter on how tall an areas trees can get! Cheers buddy. But you definitely made me want to research this more.

Really one of the best set of videos and narration ever.

A poignant comment Paul... and many would agree, it really is a beautiful area.
me too, born and raised in northampton before it went crazy!
same. ive been to 3 of the places on this list.
I've run into some smaller falls deep in the mountains of western Massachusetts and was always impressed how even the small ones drown out all noise.
Beautiful video. Love the addition of still shots, slowmo, and the details you provide. Can’t wait to get there. Thank you.
And there are many other waterfalls not included here... have fun discovering them!

Have to love a great waterfall, especially in the winter.
These videos are... Amazing.
I love sorting through all your vids that are old but new to me. SO wonderful. Thanks for taking the time to make and post.
John, you are so welcome!

Beautiful place 👍 , thank you so much

John... sounds like you really need more time in the forest! :)

Thank you, Ray, for this gorgeous video. I miss the woods of this part of the state and felt like I was there with the beautiful footage. Big thanks.

Watching that pure, clean, cold water makes me not want to turn on my faucet.
wonderful

Great-did you know there are lots of hot springs in NE? I'd love to see a video on them
You can see why the native Indians called it Massachusetts, which means, rolling hills.
Hey how about Purgatory Chasm? You should do it.
location duu

I have tried to video and photograph large and tall trees but I can never do it justice. They are bigger than they look, lol!
I’ve never seen a waterfall in New England before
