Scant "Falls" Scantic Rapids, Enfield November 19, 2016 Visiting waterfalls in late 2016 is totally unfail to the falls. After all, we are in the midst of a two year drought situation. (The creek behind my house has been dry since May.) However, something tells me that the Scantic rapids wouldn't qualify … [Read more...]
Clark Creek Falls
I Love Secret Falls Clark Creek Falls, Haddam January 16, 2016 I’ve written many times over the years that, due to Connecticut’s relative lack of things like “real” caves and impressive waterfalls, our guidebooks and websites highlight some rather weak fake caves and piddling falls. (And, as a result, I … [Read more...]
Van Otterloo Preserve
Doin' the ol' Van Otterloop Van Otterloo Preserve, ~.5 mile, Bloomfield February 2016 There exists - I swear - a dedicated group of people who are more or less familiar with all these tiny little properties with very limited visitation. They are some of my best readers in that they follow me on both Twitter (RIP … [Read more...]
Cusgutter Falls
Aw, Cuss. Cusgutter Falls, Bristol March 2008 For a longer description of the hike on the Cascade and other Tunxis Regional Trails in Southington and Bristol, you can leave and go here. Aw, cuss... I’m writing up these falls in 2016. I hiked past them nearly eight years ago. If you’ve been following CTMQ for a … [Read more...]
Gorge Cascade Falls
I Saw a Gorge At Least Gorge Cascade Falls, Hamden July 2011 For a longer description of the hike on the Red Circle Trail at Sleeping Giant, go here. It's a bit silly of me to write up these falls with only my one visit to them under my belt. For the simple reason that my visit came in the middle of a dry … [Read more...]
Spruce Glen Falls
Fall Away From the Highway Spruce Glen Falls, Wallingford January 3, 2016 When I found my way to the end of an industrial road in Wallingford and set out on my hike around the Orchard-Spruce Glen land trust property, I had no idea people would actually care. I can never predict which things I write about … [Read more...]
Cascades Near Balance Rock Road
No, Really, It's Called "Cascades Near Balance Rock Road" Hartland October 2013 Hoo boy, this entry is a bit of a stretch. I’m not sure anyone would qualify these cascades as being worthy of inclusion in a book about Connecticut’s waterfalls, but here they are. Granted, I’m sure they are more impressive after … [Read more...]
Blackledge Falls
”Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls...” Blackledge Falls, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 This hike was part of a twofer. That’s right, I was putting my boys through the paces – first a few miles away at Shoddy Mill Preserve and now here at Blackledge Falls near Glastonbury’s border with Hebron. (On subsequent days, … [Read more...]
Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls
Falls so Cool They be Ice Sessions Woods Falls, Burlington February 2014 The Connecticut Waterfalls 2013 guidebook notes that these falls are “south of Burlington," which would mean Bristol. They are not in Bristol, I promise. Anyway, these falls are as far away from the Sessions Woods visitor's center as … [Read more...]
Westledge Trail Falls
Falls Along Westledge Trail Unnamed/Northgate Falls, Simsbury October 2008 These falls are included in the new (2013) Connecticut Waterfalls guidebook, so I’m adding this page several years after visiting. And since I’m lazy, I’m not going to go find the CD that contains the original pictures to give you the … [Read more...]
