A fantastic place to go for a family hike during any season of the year. This park is on the New York and Massachusetts border; with access from both states . Park in the NY lot for a relaxing walk to the base of the falls, then take a short drive up the road and park in the MA lot for an amazing view from atop the Falls. Although Bash Bish Falls is lovely and serene; the area should be respected as there are some challenging hiking areas and swimming near the Falls could be extremely dangerous. Swimming is prohibited for a reason. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints and enjoy this hidden gem with family and friends.

Beautiful falls. Short hike to the view although it can be a little steep at places for those who don't like any hills. Isn't a gruelling hike though. I recommend a visit to this beautiful park

Gentile hike up from the NY side. 3/4 mile hike. Plenty of parking. Dogs on leashes. Just an all around nice short day

Great views. Great to visit in the fall but sure at any other time is good!

Park on MA side of the border for a vertical, challenging hike down to the falls, then climb back up. Or... Park on the NY side for a little longer, flatter walk to the same site.
