Chapel Falls - MA (Waterfall)

-Approx 1090 Williamsburg Road, Ashfield, Massachusetts
-Visited February 2018
-Almost Roadside / .2 miles
-Very Easy
-no bathroom
-Nearby: Mt Toby, Roaring Brook Falls, Gunn Brook Falls, Slatestone Brook Falls
-Notes:
     -two small parking areas, free, one is paved and on falls side, other is dirt (slightly bigger) and on opposite side of the road, both marked with trailhead signs
     -waterfall trail begins as Chapel Falls Road, and then splits off to the left (marked by sign for Two Bridges Trail)
     -thoroughly marked trail, also has ropes in the beginning to protect wild life / mark trail
     -ices / freezes over in the winter, trail becomes very slick and tricky
     -trail has some incline, minimal stepping, some roots and rocks and has wood chips to help with muddiness
     -no bugs
     -almost completely shaded by trees
     -water dependent, substantial with waterflow but also go in low water for slow shutter photos
     -has multi tiers and smaller cascades down stream
     -no debris in falls, some trees obstruct view, but can work to get views with no obstructions, just use caution
