Parks & Nature
Bartholomew's Cobble Reservation
105 Weatogue RdBash Bish Falls State Park
Falls RoadGentle waterfall and rocks that you can climb on, shallow stream thats great for wading and splashing. A favorite local park that's worth seeing. It's a lovely 10 minute walk.
Exit the driveway and turn right. Go around the bend to Hadsell Road, walk over the small bridge (blocked off to cars) and immediately turn left onto the dirt road. Follow that road for about .5 miles.
Note: if you are driving to the falls the Hadsell Road Bridge is closed so you’ll have to enter via Lumbert Cross to Hadsell Road detour.
