Buttermilk Falls
Buttermilk Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Connecticut. You'll then be able to see this wonderful force at its most powerful. The finest season to go is in the spring when the cascade is being violently overflowed by a true surge brought on by snowmelt.
The best way to see Plymouth's Buttermilk Falls is from above, as is true of many other waterfalls. The summit in this instance is located on the Mattatuck Trail, at the top of a 55-foot waterfall that is framed by dense hemlock trees and wildflowers. Waterfall trekkers can properly appreciate the scope of this natural treasure from this summit.
The falls are beautiful and worth returning to time and time again because they change with the seasons. When the water level is high, it spills over ledges; in midsummer, it changes into a charming twist of water. After having felt the rush of being at the top, cautiously descend (it's more of a scramble) to see the falls from below. The river, which pools at each visitor's feet, is littered with rocks.
