Kent Falls State Park, located in northwestern Connecticut, is known for its stunning waterfalls and scenic hiking trails. The park features a series of waterfalls that cascade down a 250-foot drop, accessible via well-maintained trails. While the main route is suitable for families and offers sweeping views, more adventurous hikers can explore various loop trails for a closer look at the falls. Amenities include picnic tables and grills, providing an ideal spot for outdoor meals. The park has restrooms, though they can vary in availability. For stargazers, the park is a quiet retreat away from city lights, making it an excellent location to enjoy the night sky. An entry fee is charged for out-of-state vehicles.
