There are some impressive waterfalls spread throughout Connecticut and they are popular places to go hiking, picnicking, or just take fabulous photos. Nestled away on the western border of our state, there is a park with an incredible waterfall staircase hike. Climb the stairs to be rewarded with amazing views at this scenic spot.
Kent Falls State Park is found in the town of Kent. The 295-acre park is home to a stunning waterfall that cascades along a 250-foot drop before meeting the Housatonic River.
The water flow changes throughout the year. In the springtime, you will see the heaviest cascades when the winter snow is melting, but the falls are also dramatic after rainstorms. During the dry season, the water slows down to a trickle.
A trip to Kent Falls is a rewarding way to enjoy Connecticut's outdoors. There is a reason why this astounding waterfall is one of the state's most photographed places.
During the summer, the park is open from 8 a.m. - 7 p.m., during all other seasons it is open 8 a.m. - sunset. Kent Falls State Park is located at 462 Kent Cornwall Rd., Kent, CT 06757. For more information about the falls, visit the Connecticut DEEP website.
