Umpachene Falls
New Marlborough, MA 325k

In commemoration of Chief Umpachene, Umpachene Falls Park consists of 5 acres where the KonKapot and Umpachene rivers join. Donated by the Robert Wheeler family it is maintained for the people of New Marlborough and guests. The falls consist of a couple of 10'-12' blocks with a cascade and can be spectacular during spring thaw. Swimming or wading is permitted, but no life guards are provided with everything at one's own risk. The park closes at 8 p.m. with simple rules and requests including no alcohol or glass bottles. Judging by the clean and litter free picnic and swimming area I'd say most people abide by these simple requests. As requested, "take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but foot prints"
