Sperry: Not for Sperrys Sperry Park & Falls, Woodbridge January 2021 Sorry Woodbridge, I'm letting your secret out of the bag. It's just what I do.

Roaring Brook Falls Park
Roaring? I'd be Lion. Roaring Brook Falls Park, Cheshire July 2014 This is a weird one.

Aspetuck Falls

Chapman Falls
Devilishly Handsome Chapman Falls, East Haddam I am all-too aware that my pictures of Chapman Falls are some of the weakest on the internet.

Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls
Falls so Cool They be Ice Sessions Woods Falls, Burlington February 1, 2014 [Note: For my Waterfalls pages, I’m using the town designation used by the Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook.

Prydden Brook Falls
You’re Gonna Pry This One Outta Me Prydden Brook Falls, Newtown April 13, 2009 This is a really pretty waterfall. Definitely lands in the top 20% of Connecticut’s tumblers.
