Where the Waterfalls Are
Terryville sits in or near the Lower Connecticut River Valley area of Connecticut. Middletown and the hills east of the Connecticut River hold three of the state's most visited waterfalls. Chapman Falls in Devil's Hopyard State Park cascades about 60 feet over a series of stone steps, and its stream has carved potholes into the ledges below. Wadsworth Falls, in the state park of the same name, is a broad curtain on the Coginchaug River, and Westfield Falls nearby is a smaller cascade. The valley's mix of crystalline rock and Central Valley sedimentary layers gives these falls their stepped, ledgy character, with leafy trails that suit short walks.
