This Naturally Formed Pool In Connecticut Is Almost Too Beautiful To Be True

The Natchaug River meanders through Connecticut showing its beauty with every twist and turn, but perhaps the most scenic spot of all along the river is Diana’s Pool. Large boulders trap crystal clear water creating a natural pool that is absolutely stunning.

Diana's Pool is a little oasis in the town of Chaplin. Large boulders and forested river banks surround this small natural wonder.

You'll find two small waterfalls, the upper falls drop just four feet into the pool. The lower falls display a rippling curtain of water that drops three feet into the river below.

Explore the many fisherman's paths along the riverbank to see different views of the pool. This place is rumored to have excellent trout fishing.

You might be tempted to take a dip in this once popular swimming hole, but years ago swimming was banned.

Stop by and admire the natural beauty, take a seat on one of the flat ledges, and let the sounds of the rushing water take over your senses.

The pool is just a short hike from the parking area. Just a mere 150 feet separate you and the lower falls.

To visit the waterfalls and pool from the intersection of US-6 and CT 198 in Chaplin, follow CT 198 north for about 1/2 mile, turn right on Diana's Pool Road. The parking area is on the left.
