Wadsworth Falls State Park

1 of 3

Wadsworth Falls State Park is a beautiful 285-acre park in Connecticut that runs through Middletown and Middlefield. It is one of Connecticut's most magnificent natural areas.

One of the routes passes a tiny bridge and leads to the 30-foot-high Wadsworth Falls. Because of its outstanding whitewater, the stunning cascades of Wadsworth Falls are a shoo-in among the top Connecticut attractions. Spending the day climbing up to the falls and witnessing it for yourself will make the journey all the more worthwhile. The 6-kilometer route to the falls passes through a wonderful woodland area, so take advantage of the scenery. During your trek, keep a lookout for wildflowers and wildlife.

There are also several picnics and swimming areas throughout the park. Wadsworth Falls State Park is especially popular in the summer due to the availability of grills for use in cookouts.
