At a glance
Overview
Trap Falls is a small rocky cascade on Trapfall Brook in Willard Brook State Forest, right off Route 119 in Ashby. A short, flat path from the DCR roadside parking drops you into a hemlock pocket at the falls. It is a quick DCR stop, not a swim — the basin is shallow and rocky, and the brook runs in pulses after rain.
