Good Grief! You can’t go to the bottom of the falls anymore! Experience completely ruined! Spent many happy visits over the years sitting on the rocks gazing up at the falls. The only way to really e… Full review by asinger2

The best part o visiting Bash Bish Falls was walking down the stone staircase to the cool pool below. Now all of this access is fenced off, what a sad day that all of you now cannot experience what t… Full review by John L

What a bummer. Used to love this place. Now they have fenced off the falls. One can no longer go down to the base of the falls and hang out on the rocks. No point in going anymore. Walk from lower pa… Full review by 76StaceyM
Falls Rd. Mt. Washington State Forest, Mt. Washington, MA But there is also a parking area in NY off of route 22. The NY trail is far easier than the MA trail! You end up in the same place.
Is playing in the water allowed anywhere in the park? Nearby?

We were only at Bash Bish falls. This is part of a much larger park system, Taconic State Park. Google it. There are pics of a swimming beach at Rudd Pond. I don't know what "playing in the water" means to you. We walked up to the falls from the NY side parking lot. Great trail along the stream.There are "No Swimming" signs posted. Our dog, who can't read, took a dip anyway.
How easy of a hike is it? and which is the best side to go in for the easiest hike? I have my 80yr old parents with me.. they are in great shape, I just can't have them walking on rock scrambles or anything like that. also, do you have to go down or up the stairs that I see in the pic to actually see the falls?

The NY side is an easy walk to the falls with a wide path - no crazy hills or rocky scrambles, just scenic woodsy views. The walk is less than a mile. Once you reach the falls, you can …
The NY side is an easy walk to the falls with a wide path - no crazy hills or rocky scrambles, just scenic woodsy views. The walk is less than a mile. Once you reach the falls, you can walk down the stairs (which are steep and awkward) to get close, however, you do not have to walk down the stairs to see the falls.
Where is the handicap entrance to the falls and is there a bathroom next to the falls?
A:
There is a porta potty in the main parking lot. I do not know if the 3/4 mile trail is for handicapped persons. The trail sure looks wider and flatter than the other entrance. I am disabled …
There is a porta potty in the main parking lot. I do not know if the 3/4 mile trail is for handicapped persons. The trail sure looks wider and flatter than the other entrance. I am disabled and did not try the trail as i have a rolling walker and was not sure of the terrain. perhaps the parks department could answer?
