Massachusetts state park
Wahconah Falls State Park is a small Massachusetts state park in the town of Dalton managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. The park protects the scenic waterfall for which it is named.[3]
Wahconah Falls are created where Wahconah Falls Brook makes four individual drops,[4] tumbling over an outcrop of the Becket Gneiss formation.[5] The falls have been described as "rather photogenic" depending on time of year.[5]
Visitors can hike, fish, and picnic. Swimming is not allowed, but wading is possible.[6]
