Very pretty area. Big waterfall and nice ambience. Picnic tables and outdoor stoves.

One of the best parks in the state of CT. The vista trail has been a place for friends and I to visit since I was a child. The other half of the park has small caves and a honeycomb of trails. You really can’t go wrong here. There’s even a waterfall. If you’re in CT you should stop here.

I grew up in these woods. My parents house borders the property. I love it here. I woke up early went for a coffee and brought my dog for a morning sunrise hike. If your looking for peace and quiet you can find it here.

Awesome hike and awesome waterfall. Anyone can walk to the waterfall with little effort. There are several large parking areas and plenty of parking. Park was well kept in the fall. Not a drop of trash. I can’t wait to come back when the water level is higher. I hear the waterfall can really get roaring. Hikes were all awesome. We did the orange trail. A very small rock climbing area is required so if you don’t have the knees then you should skip the hike. -Kid friendly (brought our 7 year old) -Pet friendly (saw lots of dogs) -Budget friendly (free in state parking as usual) -Great nearby activities including gilette castle! -Great view at the end of the mountains. (Especially in the fall!)

Its a nice place. Good for hiking, fishing. But the trails are a bit rocky. You can follow the trail sign. It’s dog friendly but very small dogs won’t be make it probably. The parking place is huge. Should not be any problem. There’s one parking for the falls another one for the state park. The third one for the campground. You can find the trail maps from the QR code in the board - right in front of the covered bridge. The orange trail ( around 2.5 miles) seems the longest. There were signs to be aware from bears. So, suggested to go with groups. I loved the Chapman falls so much. we went almost near tot the falls. During autumn, it will look awesome. We went at the beginning of fall season. The only drawbacks I can say is there’s no proper restrooms. There were CSR’s , the movable ones. Apart from that, Overall , a great place. Will visit again. Pavilion was also there for birthday celebration. Its bit difficult for elderly or children, otherwise okay. Visit in a sunny day.
