The quality of this Cascade can vary based on rainflow and the time of year but it's pretty nice considering it's essentially in a metropolis. Head north and then East to exit or head north and then West to follow the water
Great walk up to the water fall. And a short distance walk to the lookout point to see the city.
I entered through the cross fells trail end which is on Goodyear end road. From Washington.
It’s a really short walk to the small waterfalls. Maybe 10minutes following the few signs.
There are some small bridges. Steps on the trails. It can get slippery especially when it rains. Come prepared. Also no bathrooms or parking lot from the east side.
The waterfalls were small but nice to see with minimal effort. Free fun activity
I saw couples families and groups of friends going on walks. Nice place. Don’t leave trash please.

We parked on Goodyear Avenue (2 hours free parking) and walked to the falls, which took 5/10 minutes and was signposted. It’s a little undulating on the walk but was fine for all of us. Not the most spectacular falls but we were filling some time before a flight and it was nice to see. We were there in august so not much water and quite a lot of plant growth obscuring views so likely better in the winter/spring.
Will it blow your mind? No. Is it amazing that there is a waterfall within a 30 min train +walking trip from Downtown Boston? Yes, absolutely.
Treasure close to Boston but trails to the cascade not marked. It meant many extra steps. Also be careful on the upper part..m trust me. Still a very nice place
The address is on Washington. But there was no parking there. You need to follow the road to the parking lot on Fellsway East. Then cross the street to the hiking trail. Follow the blue marks on the trees. Then at the end, follow the yellow marks to get to the water falls. Wear mosquito spray because there are a lot of mosquitos there. The trail is easy for 9 years old and adults. But it will be a challenge for 75 years old or 4 years old.
This waterfall is great in the spring or after rain falls. The total height is actually surprisingly large (a few stories). In winter, when the temperatures drop below freezing it is pretty common to see groups of ice climbers practicing there for hours.
