Wadsworth Little Falls

Wadsworth Little Falls is located nearly twice as tall as its next-door neighbor, Wadsworth Big Falls. The fact that this waterfall is much less strong and more seasonal than the Big Falls must be how it got its moniker. In order for Little Falls to reach its full potential, a significant rain event is actually required. This waterfall's structure consists of roughly twenty small-step plunges, none of which is taller than three feet. Although little, this waterfall is a good illustration of a staircase fall and a wonderful contrast to the strength and notoriety of the Big Falls. This waterfall is also one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Connecticut.

It's important to note that there are two methods to go to the falls if you're interested in seeing them. Parking close to the falls is possible, as well as parking further away and hiking there. Feel free to explore the other trails at Wadsworth State Park after viewing the falls. The park has full of lovely, scenic pathways that you may take with friends and family, but be aware that when the weather is perfect, it can get quite crowded.
