Waterfalls

4 adventures tagged Waterfalls.

Cheshire, CT

Roaring Brook Falls

The tallest single-drop waterfall in Connecticut, sitting at the top of a steep, barely-marked climb in Cheshire. I hiked it solo to scout it first. Big payoff, but this one's for older kids, not the stroller crew.

🚗 About 35 min🥾 Moderate to strenuous. Steep, and with almost no trail markings.

Waterfalls

East Haddam, CT

Devil's Hopyard State Park

A 60-foot waterfall, perfectly round potholes in the rock that colonial farmers blamed on the devil, and a name kids will not stop saying. Pairs with Gillette Castle for the full East Haddam day.

🚗 About 55 min🥾 Falls viewing easy; the Vista Trail loop is moderate★★★★★

Waterfalls

Southbury, CT

Southford Falls State Park

Twenty minutes from home, a covered bridge, a waterfall, and a pond full of turtles. The lowest-effort win in the rotation.

🚗 About 20 min🥾 Easy★★★★☆

Waterfalls

Kent, CT

Kent Falls State Park

A 250-foot waterfall you can walk almost the whole way up, and the kids won't stop talking about it for a week.

🚗 About 1 hr 15 min🥾 Easy to moderate★★★★★
