NOTE

Umapchene Falls Park is for New Marlborough residents and their guests ONLY

Cascading falls with several pools, falls and chutes to play in. The small swimmable pool at bottom is barely 4 feet deep. Although not a classic swimming hole, Umpachene Falls offers several areas to explore and discover. The water takes many twists and turns as it makes its way over an infinite number of small ledges, wide swaths of rock and a few larger drops. Don't overlook the area upstream from the main falls . Set in a park-like area with a parking lot, with picnic tables and benches. Picnic tables, Port-o-Let
