About Glendale Falls
Visit wild and rocky Glendale Brook and follow one of the state's highest and longest waterfalls as it plunges dramatically to the Westfield River.
What makes Glendale Falls a special place?
Fed by more than five square miles of watershed, Glendale Falls is one of the longest and most powerful waterfall runs in Massachusetts. In spring, the waters of Glendale Brook roar over steep rock ledges to join the Middle Branch of the Westfield River, a federally designated Wild and Scenic River.
Forest Delight
The surrounding forest includes hemlock, birch, and beech with an understory of maple, hornbeam, witch hazel, shadbush, and mountain laurel. Across Clark Wright Road, a logging road tracks a natural wet meadow along Glendale Brook.
Trails
A quarter-mile trail leads to the bottom of the falls and a 0.3 mile woods road leads south to land owned by the Massachusetts Division of Fish & Wildlife. Moderate hiking, strenuous in places.
When to Visit
Open year-round, daily, sunrise to sunset. Allow a minimum of half an hour.

Zhiyun Crane V2 - Lumix G7 - Glendale Falls in Massachusetts
Threw this little piece together quickly to show off my new camera gear. Just bought the Zhiyun Crane V2 for my Lumix G7 and went out to some waterfalls to test it out.
The only issue with this combo is that the G7 with the kit lens (14-42) is just at the minimum weight. It is so close that I've found I have to use a shotgun mic in the hotshoe, and TWO lens hoods to add just enough weight to get it to balance properly. This is kind of is a let down, but I am working on other solutions, like adding something to the hotshoe that has more weight to it.

Driving from our house in Middlefield, MA to the kids camp in Becket MA. Proof that yes, I can and do drive. You will however notice a lack of any other cars or traffic. It's part of the reason I love driving up there

The Ultimate Massachusetts Waterfalls Roadtrip
With all the snow melting, I decided to embark on the Ultimate Massachusetts Waterfalls Roadtrip in one weekend in April. It is a pretty insanely long road trip completely around Western Mass. at over 8 hours of just driving from the first waterfall, but they are all relatively easy hikes.
1.) Doane's Falls (Royalston) : Plenty of parking around the bridge, and really easy hike 5-10min to walk the whole thing. I would stop by here if I was going to kayaking around Tully lake which is beautiful in the Fall. It's really way out there though compared to the other falls. I'm not sure if I'll make an hour trip to go there, and then drive another hour to the next falls. Adventure, right?
2.)The Cascade (North Adams): Park on Marion Ave. next to a wooden fence for an easy 20 minute hike to these beautiful, quaint falls. It was really muddy and slippery especially near the base of the falls so be careful. Most of the mud I was covered in was from this hike. The trail isn't clearly marked, but just follow the path, and listen to the running water.
3.)Wahconah Falls (Dalton): Park on Back Dalton Rd on a little parking area pass the trailer homes and head down for another easy quick hike. These are small falls with a beautiful reservoir behind it if you hike up and over. A small picnic area for breakfast if you want to.
4.) March Cataract Falls (Adams, MA): When the main road opens to the summit of Mount Greylock. (Memorial Day in May to November 1) park next to the camping area on Sperry Rd off Rockwell Rd and follow the trail to the Falls. If the main road is closed, you can hike 2+ hours on the Roaring Brook Trail on Roaring Brook Rd in Williamstown, MA. There, you can hike up Mt. Greylock on the blue blazed trail for about 2 miles to the camping area on Sperry Rd and proceed to the falls. The last bridge is out on the trail but stay on the left of the brook towards Greylock and you'll hit the blue blazes again. There might be an easier way such as Hopper Rd trail, or others, but this was the shortest but strenuous hike to the falls. Make sure you have a map.
5.) Bash Bish Falls (Mt Washington): Easy hike to the falls on a wide developed trail. Park in the Taconic State Park in Copake Falls, NY and hike back over to Massachusetts for the falls. This is a must do, not because they're amazing, but because if you do a waterfalls trip, 10 people will ask you if you went to this one.
6.) Race Brook Falls (Sheffield): These are probably my favorite falls on this list. It's just amazing walking towards it. There is a little U parking area off of S Undermountain Rd, and a quick hike to the lower falls. There is also a trail up Mt Everett, just a really great place to explore and adventure around. Be aware, that these falls do dry up quick when water level becomes low, but when it is high... Wow.
7.) Umpachene Falls (New Marlborough): These are the lazy falls, and they are beautiful regardless. You can park on a little park area on the left after driving down a narrow dirt road. This would be a nice place for lunch since there are public grills, picnic tables, nice open grass to picnic (there's a cute bench tucked along the stream), though I'd probably lounge on the falls. It's a nice easy hike along these flat falls and a good way to relax and reflect, because there are two falls left.
8.) Campbell Falls (New Marlborough): You can take the easy way and park on the parking spot on Campbell Falls Rd or take a nice beautiful simple hike on the yellow blazed trail on Spaulding Rd. These falls are beautiful in the winter, but though not the largest, are probably the strongest. Definitely good times trying to climb around and enjoy the meadows around these falls. Time for a long hour drive to the last falls.
9.) Glendale Falls (Middlefield): Best for the last, maybe? These are spectacular when the water is running, and still beautiful even frozen over in winter. You can take the simple, easily accessible (stone stairs! how nice!) along the falls or like me and my friends, enjoy climbing up along the rocky cliffs of the falls. It's always sunny since it runs with the sun path, and a nice way to end the journey.
This trip is definitely nice, and there are other waterfalls around, but these are made for quick hikes and long drives. I'd definitely split it up for Doane's Falls by itself if you want to explore around Tully Lake, The Cascade, March Cataracts, and Wahconah if you're adventuring Mt. Greylock, and Bash Bish, Racing Brook, Umpachene, Campbell, and Glendale for a beautiful solid day of waterfalls.
So clean those lenses, have fun, and when the snow melts, you know it's waterfall season.

Wallamanumps Falls
Heres a video of Wallamanumps Falls,hopefully a flattering view on Ludlow Ave in Ludlow Massachusetts.The falls of Wallamanumps, on Chicopee River, were a favorite resort of the Indians. The water here descends 42 feet in a distance of 100 rods; and the aspect of the rapid current rushing along between the wild and precipitous banks is very fascinating. The extremity of a wooded eminence below the falls is called the Indian Leap. It rises abruptly from the river to the height of about 75 feet; and it is related that a party of Indians, being suddenly surprised upon the rocky point, leaped over the precipice, and perished in the river.
Hike New England | Royalston Falls, Royalston, MA (Ultra 4K HD)
Looking for a great hiking day trip in Western Massachusetts. This is a great hike that goes unexplored by many travelers!
- Follow a descending trail that leads to a deep, ancient gorge carved by prehistoric glacial meltwater to Royalston Falls.
The remote, almost rainforest-like, location of the waterfall is well worth the 0.8-mile descent to the edge a half-hidden ravine! Carved over the ages by Falls Brook, the boisterous cascade plunges 45 feet into an icy pool, sending up a misty spray through the thick forest hugging the gorge. A shelter on the trail offers a great resting spot.
As you make your way into the ravine, the dramatic falls remain hidden within an emerald cloak of dense forest and ferns. The flume appears suddenly, as if to offer a sensory reward for your exertions. In winter, freezing spray creates a fantastic landscape of ice.
Plan to spend at least an hour at this location as you will likely want to pull out your phone or camera to snap some pictures of this picturesque Waterfall.
