		Chapel Brook Falls Ashfield, MA 390K
			Chapel Brook Falls is one of those locations where hundreds of cars pass over its bridge and don't realize the beauty beneath. If you stop, you'll see that Chapel Brook flows beneath the road, down stream is where you locate (3) waterfalls. The first waterfalls are two sloping cascades, each being not much more than 10-15' in height, but certainly adding their presence to the serenity of this location. The lowest fall being 25' in height, is the largest and most dynamic of the series. Well worth your effort of stopping your car and walking a easy 100 yards. Chapel Ledge is also worth checking out, for a wonderful view. The hike to its summit is about .5 mile or 25 minutes. You could scale the facing cliff, this a very popular technical climbing location for advanced or beginning rock clmbing enthusiasts.
