Chapman Falls

December 23, 2018 by Steve 3 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...]

I Love This House Seven Steps Falls, Burlington May 2015 This is a Burlington Land Trust property. It is private, but you can be granted access by contacting the Trust.

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...]

Bunnell’s & Burlington Falls

June 14, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

A Little Burly, Bro Bunnell’s/Burlington Falls, Burlington June 2018 I don’t take pleasure in breaking the law. I’ve very rarely done so in my life and when I have, I’m talking about silly stuff like getting to these falls. To do so, I parked in a No Parking Tow Zone and then trespassed on New Britain Water … [Read more...]

Enders Falls

April 17, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

This is No Game Enders Falls, Granby Multiple visits A stairway has been built along the trail since my visits below. 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 … [Read more...]

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.

Cargill Falls

July 12, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

June 26, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

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