Sanderson Brook
Chester, MA 375K

Located in Chester-Blandford State Forest the hike to this particular falls is pleasant and unique. To start with this hike is leisurely, you'll like never even crack a sweat. In addition, this is also a very popular waterfall and it seems you will always meet people coming and going. The Falls themselves are a long rambling cascade with a 25 foot drop at its top. The unique aspect to this waterfall is how the water from the top drop is redirected, spurting upward with a geyser like plume. Also, there are more waterfalls above this main bottom waterfall. Although climbing up the steep hillside will be strenuous, but by staying on the road and bearing right, the road will come around to the backside to the falls in a longer hike, but much easier.
