Double the fun.

Bash Bish Falls is different in that the waterfall is in Massachusetts but the trail begins in New York. At some point during the 3/4-mile nature hike from New York the hiker is welcomed into Massachusetts.

But that is just one thrilling aspect of it—being able to know exactly where to stand so one foot rests in New York while the other in Massachusetts—because the big draw is of course the waterfall itself called Bash Bish.

Like a dagger thrust in the heart of the falls, a massive schist and granite boulder sits atop the falls splitting the waterfall in two creating gushing flows on each side with equal strength and power in stereo audio.

Indeed, one of two origins of the name “Bash Bish” comes from the sound the water makes. The other origin is of an unfaithful Indian maiden tied to a canoe sent plunging down the 80-foot waterfall. Her name was Bash Bish.

So, there. Two states, two waterfalls, two name origins. Bash Bish Falls seems to spare no expense in exceeding the hiker’s expectation. Visit Bash Bish Falls and you will double the fun at every turn.
