Customer Reviews

I never imagined there were so many falls in the "Bay State"
This is the only book of its genre to these wonderful places. Bushee has done an excellent job catalogueing these scenic wonders, many of them short walks from the roadside and almost all of them on public land! There is lots of interesting info on the geology and natural history of waterfalls. Check out his excellent waterfall website mentioned in the book.
