Bridge of Flowers
A 400-foot pedestrian footbridge spanning the Deerfield River in the village of Shelburne Falls, converted from a 1908 trolley bridge into a continuous flower garden open April through November. The bridge holds more than 500 varieties of plants and connects Shelburne Falls to Buckland across the river. The glacial potholes — the world's largest recorded collection, some up to 39 feet in diameter — are visible from a viewing area steps away at the base of Salmon Falls. A short walk from the Route 2 corridor.
The must-stop town on the Mohawk Trail west of Greenfield — unique botanical bridge plus glacial geology within a block of each other, surrounded by cafes and shops. Easy parking on side streets.
