Royalston Falls is a 50 foot (15 m)waterfall andgranite gorge located inRoyalston, Massachusetts along Falls Brook, a tributary of the Tully River which in turn is a tributary of theMillers River. The falls are part of a 217-acre (88 ha) open space preserve acquired in 1951 by the land conservation non-profit organizationThe Trustees of Reservations.^[1] The 22-mile (35 km)Tully Trail and the 235-mile (378 km)New England National Scenic Trail pass through the property.

History

[edit]

Royalston Falls was once called Forbes Falls for Calvin Forbes, a local property owner in the 1800s.^[2] The falls were previously the site of a town recreation area which included a playground; it was also the location of a casino. The preserve was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Foote in 1951 and 1954; additional land was added in 2002.

Recreation and conservation

[edit]

This shelter, located at the junction of the M&M Trail and the Tully Trail near Fall Brook, is about 0.3 miles from the Falls.

The preserve is open to fishing, walking, picnicking,mountain biking, horseback riding, hunting (in season),cross country skiing, and hiking. A trailhead is located offMassachusetts Route 32 just short of theNew Hampshire border. A second trailhead is located off the unmaintained Falls Road in Royalston.
