Bash Bish Falls State Park, Nature reserve and state park in Mount Washington, Massachusetts, US.
The park features Massachusetts' highest single-drop waterfall, measuring 60 feet in height, surrounded by eastern hemlock forests and steep gorges.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation established Bash Bish Falls State Park in 1924 to protect the natural landscape and waterfall.
The Mohican and Scaghticoke Native American tribes considered the falls and surrounding area a sacred site for generations.
Two parking areas provide access to the falls via different trails: a steep 0.6-mile path from Massachusetts or a gentler 1.5-mile route from New York.
The falls cascade into a deep pool containing specific mineral compositions that create natural green coloration in the water.
