Bash Bish Falls

In Massachusett's Bash Bish Falls State Park bordering New York's Tatonic State Park. During Covid visitors from both sides of the falls were recorded in the thousands and both state parks had to be shut down intermittantly for safety. The falls originate from a spring in Massachsetts and cascade down 1000 ft. What you see here is the last 60 feet.

 

Legend has it that Bash-Bish was a Mohican Native American woman, thrown from the top of the falls to her death for infidelity. It is said she haunts the falls and is responsible for the 25 deaths that have occurred here over the past 100 years.
