Sessions Woods/Negro Hill Brook Falls

February 7, 2014 by Steve 3 Comments

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

January 28, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

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.

Prydden Brook Falls

November 9, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

You’re Gonna Pry This One Outta Me Prydden Brook Falls, Newtown April 13, 2009 This is a really pretty waterfall. Definitely lands in the top 20% of Connecticut’s tumblers.

Roaring Brook Nature Center Cascades

November 9, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

I Knew a Girl at UConn Named Brooke and she was Loud Roaring Brook Nature Center Cascades, Canton October 22, 2013 I like a good waterfall that's not too far away from my house. Too bad the "falls" here at Roaring Brook are pretty weak. But to be fair, the guidebook I'm following does call them cascades and not … [Read more...]

Mill Pond Falls

August 25, 2013 by Steve 2 Comments

Wikipedia Rules Mill Pond Falls, Newington August 2013 I first became aware of these falls via social media and my friend Johnna. She writes the excellent Size of Connecticut blog and she noted that Newington claims the smallest waterfall in the country. Say what? Where do they claim that? They claim it all … [Read more...]

I’ll Cut Off Your Falls! Falls Cut-off Trail Cascades, Barkhamsted September 2007 I hiked all the trails at Peoples State Forest in 2007, but have revisited bits and pieces of them over the years since. It's just a great trail system in a beautiful part of the state and certainly an area I'd send anyone curious … [Read more...]
