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...]

Hopp Brook Falls

December 5, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Hopp, Hopp Hopp Brook Falls, Bethany November 2022 Not to be confused with the much more famous Hop River in eastern Connecticut, Bethany's Hopp Brook has its own charms. And by charms I mean modestly impressive seasonal waterfalls. Yes, falls, plural. Not that you'd know there were two here, unless … [Read more...]

Great Falls

June 14, 2022 by Steve 1 Comment

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." In 2015 or so, the go-to New England waterfall resource first said, "If you are unable to make it to Niagara Falls in New York this summer, this … [Read more...]

Valley Falls Falls

March 8, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

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. A falls I've previously stood next to at least twice in my life and never felt the need to document in any meaningful way. In fact, I apparently thought … [Read more...]

Long Meadow Falls

February 16, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

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...]

Mad River Cascades

July 8, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World Mad River Cascades, Wolcott In case you are unfamiliar with my list of Connecticut waterfalls, it is largely taken from a guidebook of Connecticut waterfalls. A guidebook which includes several "cascades" which the authors know are not waterfalls in any traditional sense. I'm fine … [Read more...]

Diana’s Pool Falls & Trail

June 21, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Pull of Diana Diana's Pool Falls & Trail, Chaplin March 2021 Chaplin is a funny town. There it is, quietly existing in eastern Connecticut... no one bothers Chaplin, Chaplin doesn't bother anyone. Aside from a few trails coursing through town, there's really not much in town bringing in people from elsewhere. … [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...]

Ninevah Falls

April 21, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]
