Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Campbell Falls State Park Reserve (Connecticut DEEP) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

The Campbell Falls Trail reaches it about 1.4 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 187 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Norfolk.

Spring through fall. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
