Buttermilk Falls (Plymouth)

January 24, 2023 by Steve Leave a Comment

Feel the Churn Buttermilk Falls, Plymouth December 2022 Every state has its own Buttermilk Falls. Most states have multiple. Connecticut even has two. That's right, our little state with a general paucity of decent waterfalls couldn't come up with different names for Plymouth's Buttermilk Falls and the much … [Read more...]

Cathles Falls

September 15, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Cathleter Cathles Falls, Simsbury December 2020 Cathles Falls on Cathles Brook isn't actually called Cathles Falls. And there's no such thing as Cathles Brook. Sorry for the swerve. These falls are officially unnamed along an unnamed seasonal flow. I have been here with no water and, well, it's just a bunch of … [Read more...]

Sperry Park & Falls

May 11, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

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. And I won't stop here either, as I darn well know of other things within your borders that you like to keep to yourself. Although I guess in non-winter, non-pandemic … [Read more...]

Roaring Brook Falls Park

March 8, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Roaring? I'd be Lion. Roaring Brook Falls Park, Cheshire July 2014 This is a weird one. Roaring Brook Falls is most often cited as Connecticut's "largest waterfall" in the sense that it contains the largest single drop of any falls in the state. Somewhere around 80-feet of drop. Awesome. That mention almost … [Read more...]

Aspetuck Falls

August 15, 2020 by Steve 6 Comments

AspecTuck and Remove Lens Cover Aspetuck Falls, Washington September 2019 The little Village of New Preston is actually bigger than the shops that everyone associates with New Preston. It encompasses pretty much the entire northwest quadrant of Washington and Lake Waramaug. But it's definitely the artsy cutesy … [Read more...]

Chapman Falls

December 23, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

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. I know that hundreds of people visit Devil's Hopyard State Park every day and take better pictures of these falls. I've been to the state park, one of the more popular … [Read more...]

Granby’s 4 Other Waterfalls

July 23, 2018 by Steve 3 Comments

Wild Granby Four Unnamed Falls, Granby Granby is home to one of the best waterfalls in the entire state. That would be Enders Falls and if you are any sort of waterfaller, you’ve probably been there. It is also home to Carpenter’s Falls, which require a modicum more effort to find than Enders, but are worth it – at … [Read more...]

Carpenter’s Falls

April 9, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

Couldn’t Build a Better Falls Carpenter’s Falls, Granby April 2018 As of this writing, I’m trying to sort out my “Complete Guide to Granby” and you may be surprised to learn there’s a lot going on here. At least for those of us who are into hiking and exploring the woods. I’ll spare you the confusion of it all … [Read more...]

Spruce Glen Falls

January 10, 2016 by Steve Leave a Comment

Fall Away From the Highway Spruce Glen Falls, Wallingford January 3, 2016 When I found my way to the end of an industrial road in Wallingford and set out on my hike around the Orchard-Spruce Glen land trust property, I had no idea people would actually care. I can never predict which things I write about … [Read more...]

Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls

February 7, 2014 by Steve 3 Comments

Falls so Cool They be Ice Sessions Woods Falls, Burlington February 2014 The Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook notes that these falls are “south of Burlington," which would mean Bristol. They are not in Bristol, I promise. Anyway, these falls are as far away from the Sessions Woods visitor's center as … [Read more...]
