8 Gorgeous Frozen Waterfalls In Connecticut That Must Be Seen To Be Believed

Discover the beauty of frozen waterfalls in Connecticut, showcasing nature's winter magic.

Don't let the cold weather stop you from getting out and exploring. These frozen waterfalls in Connecticut are pretty cool, and a testament to the awesomeness of Mother Nature. From the hanging icicles to the appearance of cascades frozen in time, these frozen waterfalls are no less magical in the winter than they are in the summer. Check them out:

1. Mill Pond Falls (Newington)

Even snow covered and partially frozen, you can still see some of the waterfall flowing. The walking bridge at Mill Pond Falls promises great views as well.

2. Chapman Falls (East Haddam)

These rushing waters are hard to bring to a halt and sometimes flow despite the pool below freezing over. But Chapman Falls makes for a unique winter scene.

3. Yantic Falls (Norwich)

Known to locals as Indian Leap Falls, some argue this fall actually gets better in the winter. The compounded snow and ice narrow the gorge and force the water level to rise, causing a greater rush of water.

4. Westfield Falls (Middletown)

The frozen cascades at Westfield Falls look like clouds. And the hike is pretty easy.

Westfield Falls in Middletown, CT is just as beautiful in the winter. Check out some wonderful footage of these frozen waterfalls in Connecticut in this video from Stephen Holman:

5. Wadsworth Falls (Middlefield)

This waterfall is one of the coolest in the winter because of its wacky ice formations. It's as if water splashing from Wadsworth Falls froze in mid-air!

6. Case Mountain (Manchester)

This man-made waterfall at Case Mountain is perfect for winter hiking, as you can easily get close and it even has its own wreath.

7. Duck Pond Falls (Milford)

Another man-made beauty, there's no hike required to capture this picturesque New England scene in the charming town of Milford, CT.

8. Kent Falls (Kent)

Kent Falls is simply beautiful, even when covered in snow. And thanks to the adjacent stone stairway, you can enjoy these falls from every angle.
