Goldmine Brook Falls is a 45-foot tiered waterfall on Goldmine Brook in Chester-Blandford State Forest, mapped in Hampden County, Massachusetts.
The falls
The falls descend in three confirmed tiers for a total of 45 feet, with a tallest single drop of 15 feet: a main fall of about 30 feet in two roughly 15-foot steps, a lower fall of 10 to 12 feet, and a possible upper drop of 6 to 10 feet. The World Waterfall Database places the falls at Huntington, in neighboring Hampshire County, rather than Hampden County.
Getting there
Chester-Blandford State Forest, the managing property, lists parking at Boulder Park and Sanderson Brook and is open from sunrise to sunset. The state trail map shows Goldmine Brook within the forest's road and trail network, but it marks no signed route, distance, or elevation gain to the falls. No entrance or parking fee is posted.
On site
Dogs are allowed in the forest, and swimming is prohibited at Sanderson Brook; whether that rule also applies at Goldmine Brook Falls is not stated.
