Great Falls Reservoir sits just off the Appalachian Trail near Falls Village, Connecticut, offering a worthwhile detour for thru-hikers or section hikers passing through town. Formed by a dam on the Housatonic River, the reservoir spills into Great Falls—a wide, powerful cascade that’s especially impressive after heavy rain. While the AT doesn’t pass directly by the falls, it’s less than half a mile from the road walk into Falls Village, making it an easy side trip. The area has historical significance as a former mill site, with old stone structures still visible near the river. For hikers stopping in town, Great Falls adds a dose of natural drama to this otherwise mellow stretch of trail.

This well-maintained dirt road is great for biking, especially int he autumn when the fall leaves transform the trail. The road takes you right up to the water with excellent views of the Housatonic River.

This is a tiny but highly scenic little park. The roads that circumnavigate Lake Warmaug are partially shaded and go right up to the water's edge, and the views out across the water are especially beautiful in the autumn. There is also camping, hiking, and kayaking here, as well as a couple small beaches for swimming.
