Granby’s 3 Unnamed Waterfalls

Wild Granby Three Unnamed Falls, Granby July 2018 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 … [Read more...]

Bunnell’s & Burlington Falls

A Little Burly, Bro Bunnell’s/Burlington Falls, Burlington June 2018 [Note: For my Waterfalls pages, I’m using the town designation used by the Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook. Because sometimes it’s fun. But not now, as Burlington is just Burlington.] I don’t take pleasure in breaking the law. I’ve very … [Read more...]

Enders Falls

This is No Game Enders Falls, Granby Multiple visits An alternate title for this page is “Wiggin Out.” That’s for all you sci-fi nerds out there. “This is Not Game”... “Wiggin Out”... both refer to Orson Scott Card’s seminal novel Ender’s Game of course, and the protagonist Ender Wiggin. Alas, these falls … [Read more...]

Carpenter’s Falls

Couldn’t Build a Better Falls Carpenter’s Falls, Granby April 8, 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.

Private Bozrah Falls

The Boz... Falls Unnamed Private Bozrah Falls, Bozrah March 2018 Bozrah. The town strikes fear into the hearts of ... Oh I don’t know what I’m talking about. Bozrah is Bozrah.

Cargill Falls

Just Wait a Cotton Pickin' Minute... Cargill Falls, Putnam May 2014 & February 2017 Cargill Falls is probably the thing in Putnam that most people associate with Putnam. Either the falls or the growing and cool little art community. The falls are more or less in the center of town, they are pretty, and they are … [Read more...]

Tartia Falls

"Tartia, Tartia, Tartia!" Tartia Falls, East of Middle Hampton April, 2017 Everyone loves a good roadside waterfall.

Talcott Ravine/Dobsonville Falls

Same Dam Falls Talcott Ravine Falls, Vernon May 2017 & June 2020 Sometime I disagree with Connecticut Waterfalls and its decision to exclude certain falls around the state. However, I agree with this one not making the final edit. Mostly because from what I can tell, it’s a fake falls. It’s merely a dam … [Read more...]

Pixie Falls

A Dusting of Snow that Stix Pixie Falls, Ashford February 5, 2016 The only thing weaker than these falls is the tortured title of this page. But you’re used to both by now. Connecticut waterfalls are often weak and my titles? Oof. The waterfall is not only named in the CFPA Walk Book, but someone cleared … [Read more...]

Wyllys Falls

Whatchoo Talkin' 'Bout Wyllys? Wyllys Falls, Manchester November 2016 Wyllys Falls is also known as Bridal Veil Falls, even though I've never seen anyone call it that except in sentences like this one.
