Kent Falls State Park

Beautiful, easy stop with a great multi-tiered waterfall and wide open views. The trail is short and manageable, with plenty of places to take photos or sit and enjoy the scenery. Even late in the season the falls look impressive. Parking is straightforward, the grounds are clean, and the CCC history adds some character. A relaxing, low-effort visit that’s worth the trip.

It's a fairly short hike but it's pretty steep. Most of it is stairs and a path way. As someone who is a moderate hiker myself I'd consider this a 4 out of 10 hike for toughness.

This is a gorgeous state park! It's free to enter for all, and free to park if you have Connecticut plates on your car.

You can see the falls from the entrance and are able to hike alongside them to the top, which is lovely! There are also lots of places to have picnics and barbecues. There are also restrooms.

Stunning park. Immaculately clean and maintained. The waterfall is breathtaking, and the different deck platforms that were created off of the trail to give the visitors spectacular views are their own works of art, much like the stairs that are climbed to reach them all. The staff is so warm and welcoming, and the pride they take as stewards of this magical place shows from the well maintained trails, to the covered bridge, and the field. When we visited it was a drought, and still stunning, so I cannot imagine how it looks during more plentiful times.
My only complaint is that I don't live closer to enjoy it more often.

A beautiful Connecticut State Park! The waterfalls are really stunning here. They are only a short walk from the parking lot. There is a trail with stairs you can follow up the waterfall and take in the different vantage points. I highly recommend stopping by!
