Chapel Ledge
Chapel Falls
Ashfield, MA
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
Passing by the bottom of Chapel Ledge on the summit trail
Chapel Ledge and Chapel Falls are both easy, scenic hikes. Though the views don't go for miles, the scenery is certainly good - with the open ledges on the top of Pony Mountain (Chapel Ledge) and the walk down the triple cascades of Chapel Falls. Both trails are marked decently to start, however nearing the end each lack blazes or signs.
