Tannery Falls

Berkshire County, Massachusetts — about 80 ft, mid-height.

A roughly 75-to-80-foot wooded cascade in Savoy Mountain State Forest in the Berkshires, reached by a short, steep descent. The adjacent Parker Brook Falls drops about 60 feet on the next stream over, so a single short hike visits two falls.

Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Savoy Mountain State Forest (Massachusetts DCR) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
