I’ve been to Kent Falls a handful of times and I had a feeling it would fall into number one. I was surprised to see Buttermilk falls on here because very little people know about that one in Connecticut. Since you were in the town of Sharon I wanted to mention actor Kevin Bacon lives in that area and he walks his dogs around there and Macedonia Park trails. There is one waterfall you missed but….. it’s not really impressive so I’m not sure if it would count but it’s located In Burlington Connecticut in Sessions Woods Trail. The trail can be dangerous because there tends to be Black Bears that wander around there. There is a lovely view of a pond and a tower you can go up and see many valleys. There are so many stone towers here as well. Some well known and others less. Most notable is castle Craig at the top of Hubbard Park it’s not a short walk nor easy one but you can drive up there. I believe we have about 6 of them.
Glad to see you back on RUclips I live in Connecticut it is truly a beautiful state. the forest and waterfalls are gorgeous I'm glad you could show people how to appreciate them thanks.
Glad to be back and glad I was able to help share the beauty of your state! I truly had no idea and had so much fun exploring so many spots I had never been!
Whoops seems I forgot to move it when I copy and pasted the map from another section of the video. Drats! Luckily the alltrails is still right and the I say the right town.
You should also check out Greyville falls in Hebron. if you access it Via airline trail you go over Judd brook wich has a big cascade that goes under the trail then about another 1/2 mile down the trail you’ll get to greyville falls. I go there all the time and it’s really nice
Hey Kevin! Glad you like the video! I actually visited like 25 waterfalls to make this list. So I did hike out and get footage and visit both day pond Brook falls and knife shop falls. But because they fell outside my top 15 I didn’t include them in the video. 🤷♂️ guess it can stay your secret spots! Haha
Nice video. There is also Westridge in Middletown, CT which you can see from Interstate 91 North. There is a small parking area which you can walk down about two tenths of a mile to see. Session Woods in Burlington has a small one that you can get close to that rages when it rains. There is another in Simsbury near a residential neighborhood that doesn't get much flow unless it rains. It's on the way up/down to a ridge hike.
@@AdamHoyt , the one in Middletown is called Westfield Falls and the small parking area is off Miner Street. In the winter when there are no leaves, you can see it from I-91 as it was mentioned (off Exit 20, Country Club Road)
The double fan tailed one I thought the best. I was going to say the raging one but in a way it is artificial in its power as it is only when the sluce gates open. But they were all well worth a watch. Thanks Adam.
That one was rather good! I think I liked how great the lighting was for when I visited it as well! As near as I could figure out great falls would have always looked like or close to that before the dam and thats actually it’s more natural look. As it’s a power dam and not a reservoir. So the disappointment would only be if you caught it at a time it wasn’t in its more natural glory!
Glad to be back! Yes it would have looked quite a bit different back then. But that’s Connecticut for you, quite a built up state with a lot of the rivers and waterways being put to work by all the towns especially back in the early and post colonial days of New England.
I’ve been to a bunch of these, but have a few more to visit. Great Falls is fun is you go after a heavy rain too. One ‘honorable mention’ that’s technically in NY, but right on the CT border is the unnamed falls at the Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area on Haviland Hollow Rd. in Patterson, NY.
I’ve been to Bish Bash and that waterfall was huge. I’m not sure if you can still swim in the water anymore but that’s one I’ve been to in NY and of course the famous Niagara Falls. I never realized how big it was till I was actually there. I didn’t spot Superman though, darn.
That was a great video; informative,good descriptions of each waterfall, and all in all - enjoyable to watch. Would love to see your version of NH and Maine’s best! Moxie and Screw Auger out in ME (some of the best), and NH’s Cascade/Basin Trail (easiest to access), is a wonderful spot with a lot of deep pools; only taking a 1/2 mile walk up to reach Kinsmans Falls. Franconia Falls, Crystal Cascade (Mt Washington), Arethusa, Beaver Brook along Moosilauke, a great handful along 112/Kanc Highway, and so many more. Again; it’d be great to see your take on this! Let’s see it!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the video! I have more planned for the future! seems NH has so many it might take me a whole summer to track them all down and rank them all! But someday I will get them! My next target for this year is to tackle the ones in Vermont. Look for it soon!
You were basically in my backyard, I live in northern Litchfield county. I was wondering if you were going to include Campbell falls! There are some other fantastic waterfalls in the area of the northwest corner, but they are somewhat lesser known and it's nice keeping them that way. ;-)
That’s awesome! I’d like to think I saw the significant waterfalls during my exploiting and research. I actually visited 27 different ones to come up with this smaller list 🤣. Who knows maybe I did secretly visit them! But glad if they’re you’re personal favorites they can stay your secret!
If you're a history nerd, here's a great video about the Ames Iron Works that used to be right above Great Falls in Caanan, CT. ruclips.net/video/L9DKmVaOqFU/видео.html
Which was your favorite waterfall of the bunch?
Kent falls by far the best. It must have nearly ten separate falls and couple great swimming holes
@@terrymorton7444 o it definitely does. Such a great stroll and so many falls to take in!

Great video! If you have a chance, please check out Southford Falls. Beautiful falls a short stroll from the parking lot.
Thanks for the great suggestion!
thank you so much for playing zelda ocarina of time music during some of these... excellent choice
Glad you liked it!

Your flag for Wadsworth Falls is about 20 miles off! It's near/in Middletown :) nice video!
Whoops seems I forgot to move it when I copy and pasted the map from another section of the video. Drats! Luckily the alltrails is still right and the I say the right town.

Thanks for this great suggestion Sam. Ill have to go hunt it down the next time I am swinging through CT in the spring time!
@@AdamHoyt no problem it’s definitely worth checking out, theyres also a parking area and it’s a short walk in the woods to get to the falls.
Beautiful state of Connecticut and all those amazing waterfalls. Very informative and enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the adventure Adam
Glad you enjoyed it! It was the best adventure!
Great list! Two other Connecticut waterfalls that are worth mentioning are Knife Shop Falls and Day Pond Brook Falls.
Hey Kevin! Glad you like the video! I actually visited like 25 waterfalls to make this list. So I did hike out and get footage and visit both day pond Brook falls and knife shop falls. But because they fell outside my top 15 I didn’t include them in the video. 🤷♂️ guess it can stay your secret spots! Haha
I was about to be sad if Buttermilk falls didn’t make the list. One of my favorite places in the state. Happens to be my home town too haha
Yeah I live nearby in Bristol. I’ve been there a few times
Glad one of your favorite waterfalls made the cut! I had way more fun than I expected exploring the whole state to get all these hikes.
Thanks for this video! My husband and I are going to try and hike these this year.

Wow what a great video. That was very enjoyable. Glad your back!!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm happy to back in the swing of it!
I love a great waterfall!
Who doesn’t! So lovely!
It would have been nice to see Yantic falls prior to the weir in the 1800s. Still a beautiful waterfall but..... Great video Adam, welcome back!!!
Glad to be back! Yes it would have looked quite a bit different back then. But that’s Connecticut for you, quite a built up state with a lot of the rivers and waterways being put to work by all the towns especially back in the early and post colonial days of New England.
thanks for sharing it from that list I only need one to visit 🛣 🥾 🙋🏽♀️ #neverstopexploring
Glad you enjoyed it! Which was the one you were missing? Never stop Exploring!

Hi Adam.. Do ever hike in Bar Harbor , Maine
Hi r! I've done some minimal hiking in Maine but would like to branch out and do more!
✅🔜
Not soon enough!
If you're a history nerd, here's a great video about the Ames Iron Works that used to be right above Great Falls in Caanan, CT. ruclips.net/video/L9DKmVaOqFU/видео.html
Thanks for the recomendation!
