Overview
Whitman's Falls is the 10–12-foot drop on Herring Run Brook where it leaves Whitman's Pond and steps down toward the Back River in Weymouth. The site sits in Iron Hill Park with a viewing platform over a two-part fish ladder — it is an urban heritage stop, not a swim. Easy access from the park parking; good herring-run viewing in spring.
