Glad to see you back on YouTube I live in Connecticut it is truly a beautiful state. the forest and waterfalls are gorgeous I'm glad you could show people how to appreciate them thanks.

Great video! If you have a chance, please check out Southford Falls. Beautiful falls a short stroll from the parking lot.

Your flag for Wadsworth Falls is about 20 miles off! It's near/in Middletown :) nice video!

Thank you for making this great video. I was looking for places to go with my friend and her son who has autism and Down's syndrome. He loves waterfalls but we need easy hikes in. Your reviews were beautiful and very specific - so helpful! Thank you!!!

[UncleTravelingMatt]

That special spot on the main Enders falls, you can slide on that into the water. We used to do it all the time before the walkways were built. Lots of cliff jumping there also.

[robinwc]

You should also check out Greyville falls in Hebron. if you access it Via airline trail you go over Judd brook wich has a big cascade that goes under the trail then about another 1/2 mile down the trail you’ll get to greyville falls. I go there all the time and it’s really nice

thank you so much for playing zelda ocarina of time music during some of these... excellent choice

[Ericadoeslife]

Thanks for this video! My husband and I are going to try and hike these this year.

I was about to be sad if Buttermilk falls didn’t make the list. One of my favorite places in the state. Happens to be my home town too haha

[jasonmarkwell]

Kent falls before the Reno, you used to be able to go out on the different upper fall sections and sit in the pools of water. With new railings, it is prohibited.

Nice video. There is also Westridge in Middletown, CT which you can see from Interstate 91 North. There is a small parking area which you can walk down about two tenths of a mile to see. Session Woods in Burlington has a small one that you can get close to that rages when it rains. There is another in Simsbury near a residential neighborhood that doesn't get much flow unless it rains. It's on the way up/down to a ridge hike.

thanks for the great suggestions Adam, love the videos glad to see you're back!

The double fan tailed one I thought the best. I was going to say the raging one but in a way it is artificial in its power as it is only when the sluce gates open. But they were all well worth a watch. Thanks Adam.

[chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

It would have been nice to see Yantic falls prior to the weir in the 1800s. Still a beautiful waterfall Great video Adam, welcome back!!!

I’ve been to a bunch of these, but have a few more to visit. Great Falls is fun is you go after a heavy rain too. One ‘honorable mention’ that’s technically in NY, but right on the CT border is the unnamed falls at the Michael Ciaiola Conservation Area on Haviland Hollow Rd. in Patterson, NY.

[cathymolina]

Wow what a great video. That was very enjoyable. Glad your back!!! Thank you

[maragrl]

thanks for sharing it from that list I only need one to visit 🛣 🥾 🙋🏽‍♀️ #neverstopexploring
