The Basin is a smooth water-sculpted granite basin at the base of a waterfall. There are picnic tables and you can swim further up in the brook. If you love waterfalls you should follow the Basin-Cascades Trail which passes the 20-foot drop of Kinsman Falls, the multi-tiered Rocky Glen Falls and many unnamed cascades. The mile long trail features rock slides, pools and ledges are fun to swim in. Here you can also see Baby Flume Falls.
