Nestled within the forests of Glastonbury, not far from the Hebron line, Blackledge Falls is formed as the Blackledge River careens over an abrupt cliff and plunges into a shallow pool below. The Blackedge River spans more than 16 miles, rising in Bolton and meandering through Connecticut’s eastern uplands before reaching its confluence with the Salmon River in Colchester. When it courses through Glastonbury’s Blackledge Falls Park, however, it is still a modest woodland brook in its fledgling state. But despite limited water volume, the 25-foot freefall plunge of Blackledge Falls produces a striking aesthetic that is actually somewhat rare amongst the waterfalls of Connecticut. https://connecticutwaterfalls.com/blackledge-falls/

Very beautiful, peaceful waterfall, unfortunately very little water.

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.

At Cargill Falls, you'll find a dam and cascades right in the heart of the city. From the Pomfret Bridge on US-44, you can see the wide dam and several flowing channels clearly. An island splits the Quinebaug River and the dam, creating a beautiful display of cascades below as the river rushes to reconnect.

It's well worth hopping off your bike here for the short walk to Wadsworth Falls, AKA Wadsworth Big Falls. This is widely considered one of the best waterfalls in Connecticut, and its 30-foot drop is especially impressive after a big rain.

This waterfall is considered one of the best in the entire state. It offers a perfect place to cool off and enjoy the sights and sounds. It is best to visit after rainfall, as the waterfall becomes more impressive. However, be cautious and watch your footing, as the rocks can get slick. Make sure you step off the bike before heading down the path.
