Sanderson Brook Falls

The Sanderson Brook Falls are located in the publicly-owned Chester-Blandford State Forest in Chester and Blandford, MA. The state forest includes remnants of small mining operations and the 60-foot cascade at Sanderson Brook Falls. The state forest was established in 1924 when local lumber companies sold the land to the state. It is currently managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Forest trails are used for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. Picnicking, restrooms, fishing, restricted hunting, and snowmobiling are also available.
