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/

This is a beautiful reservoir, absolutely pristine. The tranquil water simply showcases a mirror image of the sky above and the deep green trees lining the banks add a nice ambience to the overall view.

There's a nice loop trail around this reservoir, and it's also popular for snowshoeing during the winter. Heads up, though, there are some unbridged stream crossings and some of the trail markings are a little iffy.

A well-preserved 38-acre wetland with a beaver dam. Although the marsh boardwalk is closed, you can still enjoy the area's beauty through the well-labeled common trees. The wetland provides a great environment for birdwatching and immersing oneself in the soothing sounds of nature.
