"Salmon Falls" Glacial Potholes ~ Shelburne Falls, MA

Located in Shelburne Falls Ma are the beautiful formations of glacial potholes. These potholes were formed by rocks of various sizes settling in the cracks of the riverbed and twirling in the fast current and boring out these natural holes. This site used to be a mecca for sunbathers, swimmers and nature lovers. Over the years there have been numerous accidents and the town was forced to gate the area off from public access. You can, however, still view from a distance these beautiful potholes and rock formations as well as scattered small natural water falls from a viewing deck at the end of Deerfield Ave. For more information on Shelburne Falls and the Glacial Potholes please click on the link below.

Roaming New England

I named this blog Roaming New England because as a family that is just what we like to do. We are a large family by today's standards, 6 in all. To travel with 4 children can be a challenge and a reward. All at various ages and stages they have differences of what to do and how to do it. Of all the things we try to do it is the travelling around to new local State Parks and outdoor destinations that end up being the biggest hit. Yes, at first our teenager groans and grumbles at having to bare through sitting in a car with his *gasp* family. Yes, our youngest huffs and puffs over the thought of physical labor (ie; walking). And yes, our two middle boys fight over who will sit where. But after we get them packed and in the van and on our way everyone soon settles in. We have found many wonderful spots through out New England. We hope to find many more to come.
