A Trip To Bash Bish Falls When Massachusetts Has Frozen Over Is Positively Surreal

If you’re from Massachusetts, there’s a good chance you’ve visited Bash Bish Falls in Mount Washington before. However, most people don’t think to visit our tallest waterfall in the winter. Completely secluded and deserted for the season, when this waterfall freezes over, it becomes a hidden oasis that is sure to take your breath away. After a short hike, you’ll find yourself alone surrounded by the tallest waterfall in the state. This mighty waterfall is gorgeous every time of year, but it’s especially surreal when frozen. Plan a trip to Bash Bish Falls this winter to see it when it’s frozen over.

Massachusetts is breathtaking in the winter, but most locals don't think to go on a hike to a waterfall after the temperatures drop.

Bash Bish Falls is our most popular waterfall, as well as our tallest. This mighty waterfall has the tallest single-drop in the state.

Featuring an 80-foot waterfall, this gigantic fall drops down into Bash Bish Brook.

Bash Bish Falls is located in Bash Bish Falls State Park. There's a short 2-mile hike to the falls, and the scenery along the way is equally beautiful.

While this waterfall is amazing any time of year, it's especially breathtaking when frozen over.

Since not many Bay Staters take the trek out to the falls in winter, you'll likely have the place to yourself.

There's nothing quite like standing beside a massive frozen waterfall in the winter. This is the perfect photo-op, so you can remember your trip for years to come.

Next time you're looking for a winter nature outing, head to Bash Bish Falls when it's frozen over. This mighty Massachusetts waterfall is positively surreal in the winter.
