About this swimming hole

Tannery Falls is a series of cascades in Savoy Mountain State Forest where Ross Brook drops through a deep chasm and then over a roughly 50-foot falls into a clear pool. Only In Your State lists it among Massachusetts' waterfall swimming holes, noting it offers more of a wading experience than a true swimming hole. Reaching the falls takes about 20 minutes on a mostly downhill trail from the parking area, with smaller cascades along the way.
