What a really cool place. I could sit there for hours and list to the River. The day I went I was the only one there and it was so peaceful. Be careful, the rocks can be slippery. Highly recommend

Love love love this place!! The falls are easy to climb and it's not far from anywhere in NWCT. Nice spots to swim and let the dog swim. Nice hiking. There's a BBQ soot with a cpl pic of tables and some swings. Very beautiful and a great time!

The park spans just five acres, abutting two private parcels on two sides. The waterfalls are beautiful! There are two ruins of structures' foundations, mossed over. Steep embankments on both sides of the flowing water, covered in evergreens. However, this place gets only TWO stars because there is NO parking when the park closes unannounced, which means that if you arrive to find TWO other cars parked, you'd have to drive in reverse up a winding single-lane road with no shoulder for any oncoming cars to get out of the way!

It was a perfect day to visit this beautiful waterfall, temperatures in the upper 60s nice and cool, only regret I didn’t walk with a picnic basket, no hiking needed the fall is directly off the road. A must visit if you are in the area.

Gorgeous shelf waterfalls with multiple layers of wading pools and sun bathing rocks. Not a hike in but there are trails leading up the waterfalls and it looked like into the forest around the area. There is a small picnic area in the beginning of the park and plenty of seating in and around the cool waters. This place is a great stop to relax and cool off on a hot day ☀

It's a small place near the New York and Connecticut border. But it's a perfect place for a family picnic. You can dip in the cool water during the hot summer days. It's a two and half hours drive from Boston. But I would say worth it. The road that leads to is a gravel road but you can drive safely. We visited during the 4th of July weekend and it was bit crowded. But the park was spacious enough to keep the distance. I would recommend bringing your own food and enjoy the day.

Very well kept little Park. The falls were nice even though it hasn't rained much lately.

Great Fall! Nice little wading pools. Rocks are very slippery, you’ll want some water shoes if you like to explore. Small playground and picnic tables. Would definitely visit again if ever in the area.

The dirt road into the park requires an SUV or a car with some clearance. Once in the park, there is a nicely maintained field, a swingset, and an area to grill. If you choose to venture to the waterfalls, its only like a 100 feet walk. There are multiple levels to bask or enjoy a rapid of cold water rushing around you. The rocks can be slippery. I drove over an hour to get here. I was not disappointed at all. Spent half a day playing in the water and relaxing in the beautiful natural landscape.

Had so much fun here. Come early because there's limited parking. Also had trouble with a phone signal but with views this amazing you don't. Need your phone for entertainment. The bathroom is a big sized Port-a-Potty. Please cleanup after yourself when being there and be careful climbing up the waterfall it's slippery even on the land part. Make sure to bring shoes to do it safely.

Beautiful falls! Super cute spot can definitely dip your toes in or up to your waist. No spots for jumping but lot of spots to lay in the sunshine.

A sweet little spot off the beaten path. Worth a visit to explore the rocks that climb the waterfall. You will find a Portapotty, picnic tables, swing set, benches, and a grill stand or two. I wish there was more of a trail to hike, but the waterfall is amazing by itself.

The pictures don't do justice , it looks smaller in pictures . In person this series of waterfalls is huge. Despite having lots of swimmers I was impressed that I didn't see much garbage . The water was cold but not freezing. The rock formations are so beautiful ! It's a must see . I recommend wear water sandals with a grip .

Visited July 2022. Very beautiful relaxing waterfall. Limited parking but so worth it. Water was freezing but you get used to it after a while.

I always love visiting the falls no matter the time of year. Everytime I go the park is clean and well taken care of. Nothing beats the beauty of this natural scene and the sound of the water. I highly suggest if youre looking for a place to have some lunch and enjoy the water.

Nice falls, hidden away, no cell service, so make sure you have printed directions for when you lose your GPS signal.

I ❤ this gem of a falls!It's relatively easy to climb, either on the rocks or up the hillside. Great for photography, too.

Wonderful, secluded waterfall with plenty of space to spread out. Bring a picnic on a hot day and you could stay for hours. Don't forget insect repellent though!

Beautiful spot, and it should be noted that it is not actually open to the public- only to residents of New Marlborough and their personal guests.
