Sometimes Great Great Falls, Canaan/Salisbury February 2017 At some point someone dubbed Great Falls - also known as Canaan Falls - "The Niagara Falls of New England."

Valley Falls Falls
Fallin' Fallin' Fallin' Valley Falls Falls, Vernon March 2021 Yup, another semi-fake little waterfall gets its own page here on the mighty CTMQ dot org.

Long Meadow Falls
Just Go With Me Here Long Meadow Falls, Oxford April 2016 Yeah, I know. This page is ridiculous. These falls don't appear in any guidebook and I may be the first person in history to hop out of his or her car to take not one, but two bad pictures of the unnamed falls on the unnamed stream. The stream comes … [Read more...]
Cathles Falls
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.

Diana’s Pool Falls & Trail
The Pull of Diana Diana's Pool Falls & Trail, Chaplin March 2021 Chaplin is a funny town.

Sperry Park & Falls
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...]
Ninevah Falls
Biblical! Ninevah Falls, Killingworth & Madison January 2021 I just learned that Ninevah was the largest city in the world at one time. From about 660-612 BC. I remember it from my childhood Bible studies, but for those of you without that impossibly fun background, Ninevah was located where modern day Mosul in … [Read more...]
Roaring Brook Falls Park
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
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.
