The region, part of the Southern Berkshires, is known for rolling hills and rocky outcroppings, along with plenty of streams and brooks that wind together in the watershed.
One of Connecticut's most impressive waterfalls can be found in this park, as you might have guessed by the name. At Kent Falls State Park, the power of Falls Brook is evident as it tumbles into the Housatonic River.

On a journey that travels less than a quarter-mile, the brook falls more than 250 feet. Though the pathway to follow along the brook is short, you'll want to plan to spend plenty of time here. Each cascade is worth admiring!

The largest waterfall in the series drops 70 feet, creating a gorgeous horsetail cascade that disappears into a reflecting pool, before the water continues its journey.
