Sunday Serenity

The recent snowfall inspired a reflection on Doane’s Falls, a series of five waterfalls in Royalston, Massachusetts, along Lawrence Brook.

Getting snow over the past couple of days has reminded me of how wonderful it can look. I went through some of my photos that have snow in them and found an interesting one from 2016.

This was an interesting little waterfall that I found…

Doane’s Falls

Doane’s Falls is a series of five waterfalls along a 0.2 mile section of Lawrence Brook. They are located in Royalston, Massachusetts, and Lawrence Brook feeds into the Millers River.

The falls are named after Amos Doane, who operated a door, sash and blind mill on Lawrence Brook. Only the foundations of the mill remain nowadays.

It is a great place for hiking and exploring. Just be aware that swimming, wading and diving are prohibited, as a result of a series of injuries and deaths.
