Bish Bash Falls |
Bash Bish Falls lies within Massachusetts, and borders New York and Connecticut. From the very top of the falls, you can see all three states, whilst being surrounded by the calming sounds of the waterfall and beautiful scenery.
Off Into the Forest & Away We Go |
The fun begins even before you reach the top of the mountain, as thrill seekers slide down the mountain on skateboard like vehicles, narrowly missing upcoming cars. The roads took us through a lovely woodland stroll before finally arriving at the waterfall.
The Waterfall |
Despite its obvious beauty, Bash Bish Falls has actually been named one of the most dangerous tourist destinations in the US, as it has seen several drowning incidents due to rock climbing or rock jumping. Security guards constantly survey the area to ensure everyone is safe, although you do get the odd crazy daredevils attempting to escape their line of sight. You can sit and play in the shallow waters of the fall, where there are large rocks which you can sit on and just dangle your feet in the water. Swimming is prohibited, but water fights are more than welcome, as long as you make sure you're not too close to a ledge.

As New York is mostly sunny throughout the summer seasons, it's easy to dry off your swimsuit before heading back to wherever you are staying. Bash Bish is a must-go for everyone visiting any of these three states, and whilst you're there, why not pay the tiny town of Copake a visit as well?
