Briggs Brook Falls is a beautiful waterfall located in Erving, Massachusetts. The waterfall has a total height of 60 feet and it can be found along Briggs Brook. Briggs Brook flows strongest during the springtime when the snow melts and after heavy rainstorms. Although it is best to explore the waterfall in the spring, Briggs Brook Falls is a great spot to visit year-round.

The waterfall itself drops in a unique formation consisting of a series of cascades. Photographers often enjoy taking long-exposure photos of the waterfall, so tripods are recommended for those who have them. It is also a very photogenic waterfall considering visitors can walk all around the falls to capture different angles and drops.
