Rattlesnake Gutter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rattlesnake Gutter is a scenic boulder filled chasm, 3/4 mile long and 1/8 mile wide, located in Leverett, Massachusetts. The origins of the gutter are uncertain, but theories include:
- A subglacial meltwater channel
- A tear at the site of an old geologic fault.
- A spillway for a temporary proglacial lake.
An important ecological habitat, the property is under conservation stewarship. The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail passes near the gutter.
