About this swimming hole
Umpachene Falls is a 40-foot waterfall on the Umpachene River in New Marlborough, with a small six-acre town park that Wikipedia notes offers swimming areas and fishing holes among its recreation. RVshare calls its base pools some of the most popular summer swimming holes in the Berkshires, though the water is almost always chilly. Flat rocks around the base make natural sunning and entry spots.
