When you need a day trip to get out into the beauty of nature, Connecticut has a wide array of places you can enjoy. For those days when you don’t want to go too far, but still want to get away from it all and enjoy the beautiful ways that nature has blessed this gorgeous state, you’ll want to pay a visit to Enders Falls.

The recently re-opened Enders Falls is where you will want to head out to if you haven't recently had a chance to visit. The mile out and back hike may seem like a short distance, but the gorgeous views and breathtaking cascades offer hours of exploration for the nature lover and photo enthusiast.
