Roaring Brook Falls

The Courant's Peter Marteka did a writeup on Roaring Brook Falls:

At places like Kent Falls, you park your car, take a short walk and there's the falls. At Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield, same thing. At Chapman Falls in East Haddam, you can practically drive your car across the falls. At Roaring Brook, there's no sense of civilization nearby.

That's why I've been hiking up there since I was a kid. I also like to go up alone to hear nothing, but the falls. I find it very relaxing.

And if you're curious about the abandoned house, it's on the driveway... not near the falls.
