Overview
Bellevue Falls is an unofficial cascade and swim hole on a brook behind Bellevue Cemetery in Adams. The falls drop about 6 feet, split by a large thumb-shaped rock, into a deep pool that locals use for jumping off an 8-foot ledge. Access is a short, steep downhill from the cemetery — no facilities, no staff, and no Leave-No-Trace help. Footing on the trail is uneven and can be slick.
