Roaring Brook Park

Lovely, little, park. Easy walking/hiking - paths well marked by prior foot traffic - blazes we're a bit iffy. Would recommend for a shorter experience, we plan to go back.

It was a decent place. A good hike if you want to raise your heart beat a lil. The brooks and waterfalls aren't the best but still worth seeing I think. It's calming. Not much parking though.

Connecticut and the whole northeast is a wonderful place to hike in. not only do they have great trails but the charm of these small towns throughout the northeast. just make you wonder what it must of been like 100, 200, 300 years ago. Connecticut does disappoint. the night before i put a little tower of power hiking trip together. being from a small town in NY i could wait to start my little weekend trip. we tried to hike to 7 towers, 2 museum's and a water fall in two day. we could only do 5 towers because 2 were closed. our last stop of the two day weekend in Connecticut ended up with a very easy short nice little hike to Roaring Brook Falls. up until 1974 the falls was privately owned and since 1978 the falls are under close watch by the Town of Cheshire and the Cheshire Land Trust. if you have never seen a horsetail falls, Roaring Brook Falls is a perfect example of a 80 foot horsetail falls. what a great place for us to end our weekend trip to Connecticut. if you are just seeing this review and like to see the other place and hikes we did. listed here in order was our weekend trip (Mount Tom, Haystack Mountain, New Gate Cooper Mine & Prison, Trolley Museum, Soap Stone Mountain, Talcott Mountain, Sleeping Giant State Park, Roaring Brook Falls)

Beautiful little piece of land, off the beaten path and a moderately challenging uphill hike to the top where you can see the waterfall perfectly. There are no fences or railings along the steep edge, so beware if you plan to bring children. The old stone fireplace and pallet-styles bridges over the brook are quaint. Tons of good photo opportunities! Usually not a lot of people there, thankfully it's still a very peaceful place. Hope it stays that way!
