Still River Cascades

April 3, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

What a Dumb Name for a River Still River Cascades Winchester (Winsted) Seriously, "Still River?" That literally makes no sense. Especially when we're talking about some roarin' cascade action up in here. Just look at these bad boys: Oooh yeahhhh... The Still River is a medium-sized stream which rises … [Read more...]

Tariffville Gorge Cascades

December 10, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Not Too Taxing Tariffville Gorge Cascades, Simsbury & East Granby According to one map, I just learned that the Farmington River through Simsbury and East Granby is actually entirely Simsbury’s. Huh. That’s not usually the case - and I'm not sure it's accurate anyway. Something I’ve known now for several years is … [Read more...]

I Made Up The Following Waterfall Names… Broad Brook Falls, East Windsor Paper Mill Falls, East Hartford June & July 2019 I was listening to my friend Peter Marteka on NPR recently and he was discussing waterfalls with the host.

Taughannick Falls

May 29, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

TaughanSICK! Taughannick Falls at Mohegan Sun Montville For some reason Connecticut casinos need fake waterfalls. Having been thoroughly disappointed by the fake falls at Foxwoods, I wasn't expecting much better up at Mohegan Sun. I was, however, expecting better simply because Mohegan is just straight up nicer … [Read more...]

Foxwoods’ Fake Falls

May 29, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Wuyeepuyoq Foxwoods' Fake Waterfalls Ledyard Wuyeepuyoq. Wuyeepuyoq to this page on a bunch of fake Foxwoods Waterfalls. Yes, Welcome. I've written before that I'm not a gambler or a casino-goer, but I made the trip to Foxwoods for a few CTMQ reasons: It's the largest casino in North America and has more slot … [Read more...]

Brushmill Waterfall & Covered Bridge

May 29, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Brushmill Waterfall by The Brushmill by the Waterfall Brushmill Waterfall, Chester I can't be the only person that finds the fact that the restaurant here - The Brushmill by the Waterfall - is weird for naming themselves after what is clearly not a real waterfall. And since it's not a real waterfall, I want it to … [Read more...]

Chapman Falls

December 23, 2018 by Steve 2 Comments

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...]

BLT: Fetzer Property & Falls (Private)

November 19, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

I Love This House Fetzer Falls at the Fetzer Property, Burlington May 2015 Writing CTMQ has been a great way for me to meet some really interesting people over the years. Many of these people aren’t remotely “famous” or sought out, but that’s okay. They all probably like it that way. One such person is … [Read more...]

Bailey’s Ravine Falls

October 3, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY(ers) Bailey's Ravine/Ayers Gap Falls, Franklin September 2018 There are, quite literally, still thousands of things for me to do in Connecticut. Many of those things are not exciting. Many are. Very few land on the mythical list of “stuff Steve thinks Steve really should have seen by now.” This is … [Read more...]
