Distance .3 Miles to Waterfall, but option for longer hike
Difficulty: Easy
Located in the Danforth Conservation Land off of Lincoln Street/Rt 85 in Hudson, Massachusetts is an easy trail to Danforth Falls. There is a small parking lot with a sign marking the trailhead.
The trail is easy to follow. The forest is very relaxing to walk through.
After about a quarter of a mile you come to a junction in the trail. If you go left it loops around giving you a longer hike. If you go right, it takes you directly to the falls. We went right.
As I was walking I noticed the stream was really low and it dawned on me that we have not had a lot of rain this summer so there may not be much of a waterfall. Unfortunately I was right. There was barely any water.
The hike into Danforth Falls was only a third of a mile. It was an easy walk. We will have to come back another time when there is an actual waterfall, which is alright as one of our favorite restaurants, The Railtrail Flatbread Company, is near by and we always love a reason to grab a pizza from there.
