Where the Waterfalls Are
Haverhill sits in or near the North Quabbin and Eastern Massachusetts area of Massachusetts. In northern Worcester County, the town of Royalston has two of the best-known falls outside the Berkshires. Doane Falls is a series of cascades on Lawrence Brook through a forested preserve, and Royalston Falls drops into a deep, narrow gorge on Falls Brook. Both are in quiet, wooded country with few crowds. Farther east, in Middlesex and Essex counties, falls are smaller and often tucked into town conservation land or along mill rivers. Danforth Falls in Hudson is a small cascade near local trails. These eastern falls are easy to reach from the Boston area and suit short outings. Read the Massachusetts waterfall guide.
