glacial potholes印象

Driving along the Mohawk Trail we came across the town of Shelburne Falls. Driving through the town we came to the glacial falls. What a view! In the winter with snow all around you can take in all sights of the rushing water, potholes, river, and town!

This would be up to the person if they would enjoy it or not as some may look at it as only holes in rocks but others may enjoy the history and beauty of it. It is unique and photographic. The area is fenced off so you can't get a really close look. Free parking with shops and eateries near by.

I guess something one should see once in his life, if you happen to be in the neighborhood. But unless you're a geologist (pro or amateur), it's just a quick stop to learn a little.

Before the river was tamed by a dam, this crook in the flow, exacerbated by an acute drop, created a swirl of water that caused the granite to wear -- thus the Potholes. You get a sense of the rugged character of this ancient region before European settlement when you see them. If you're lucky, the sluice gates will be opened, and you will see the fury of Nature. Seeing them takes little time. Do not miss.

We stopped by to see this since it was a short distance from the Bridge of Flowers. We did enjoy the quaint shops and picturesque atmosphere of Shelburne Falls but I wouldn’t make a special trip just for the glacial potholes. There is a viewing area at the end of Deerfield Avenue. The potholes are interesting to view and vary in size and color. They are located beneath a hydroelectric dam. We were told that at certain times when a light flashes and a horn sounds that water floods into the area but we didn’t see this. Perhaps that would have made for a more interesting view with a waterfall like appearance but then again you’d miss the “potholes”.

I had never seen these potholes before. You can walk right up next to the swirling waters. Worth the visit and the walk around the town.

Those big holes in the Hoosick riverbed are just so interesting, some as big as 25 feet. Taking this in would delight any child, as would the bridge of flowers nearby. This is a neat town.

They are really cool to look at but you have to view them behind a metal bar. I wish there was a way to see them up close and personal.

Quite a geological phenomenon - if you are in town definitely visit it - but the backdrop is not amazing a bit industrial

We love this place! It's one of our favorites. My husband and I visit a few times each year when visiting the Bridge of Flowers (see my other review). There are shops to have coffee near by, and it's great for anyone who likes to take pictures, especially in the Fall (see some pictures below). If you want to make a day of it you could also take a short drive into Greenfield before or after visiting, where you can eat lunch or dinner and take a short walk to Poet's Seat Tower (see my other review). Deerfield is also not too far away where you can enjoy Yankee Candle's flagship store, and a drive or hike up Mount Sugarloaf (see my other review). Enjoy...it's a beautiful, peaceful place for a day out alone or as a couple.
