Where the Waterfalls Are
Turners Falls sits in or near the Hilltowns and Connecticut Valley area of Massachusetts. Between the Berkshires and the Connecticut River, the hilltowns are a rolling plateau cut by steep brooks. Chapel Falls in Ashfield is a series of drops on Chapel Brook in a shaded, rocky ravine, and Glendale Falls in Middlefield is a long cascade over bedrock ledges that runs strongest in spring. Along the Connecticut River itself, the village of Turners Falls and the city of Holyoke grew around falls that once powered industry and are now largely controlled by dams. This region mixes natural ravine falls with historic river falls, offering both woodland walks and glimpses of New England's industrial past. Read the Massachusetts waterfall guide.
