Unwind in Nature at Kent Falls State Park

Discover Kent Falls State Park in Connecticut. Hike through lush forests, enjoy stunning waterfalls, and embrace the peaceful beauty of this hidden gem.

Our state and national parks are true treasures, offering a refreshing break from our daily routines. They’re not just perfect for weekend getaways; they also make excellent pit stops during road trips. A great example of a place that fits both needs is tucked away in the mountains between Connecticut and New York. This hidden treasure is perfect for a picnic with friends or a scenic hike to admire a beautiful waterfall. Personally, I lean towards the hike, but this spot really has something for everyone. According to CTParks, Kent Falls State Park is known as the "crown jewel of the Connecticut State Park system," and it’s easy to understand why. While the stunning waterfalls attract visitors, many choose to linger and soak in the gorgeous views and tackle the challenging trails. This guide will walk you through a visit to this lovely state park, which serves as both a destination and a convenient stop.
