Goldmine Brook Falls - MA (Waterfall)

-Approx 800 US-20, Chester, Massachusetts
-visited June 2017
-.2 to top of falls, bottom of falls is roadside
-easy
-no bathroom
-nearby: Goldmine Brook Falls, Sanderson Brook Falls, Glendale Falls
-notes:
     -big dirt parking shoulder between guardrails before a small bridge, free, no sign
     -to begin, cross the road and directly before the guardrail for the bridge is a washed out stone stair-esque trail, not marked
     -trail is not marked but is defined enough and easy to follow, follow the river
     -trail has a lot of brush/leaves, as well as some big stone and roots - some stepping required, also has some steep hills and minor inclines
     -waterfall is multi-tier, is ok in low water - too low though and it may dry up, its fed by a small stream
     -almost no bugs, has some fish
     -well shaded
     -falls has some small debris, and parts of the falls is obstructed unless viewed from specific angles, use caution where the rocks are moss covered and can be slick
     -trail has minimal stepping and slight incline, have to go down slopes to get to the river/best views - some stepping here, can get a little steep
     -overall is fairly easy and is a short hike
