About This Location
Nonnewaug Falls, also known as Leever Falls, is a spectacular waterfall located in Woodbury, Connecticut. It is often considered one of the most photogenic waterfalls in the state. The waterfall has a total height of 20 feet and it can be found along East Nonnewaug River. The river flows strongest during spring when the snow melts and after heavy rainstorms.

Visitors can park at the end of Falls Road in Bethlehem right at the entrance to the preserve. The hike to the waterfall is 0.42 miles one-way. The waterfall trail is family-friendly and a great way to get some hiking in. Dogs on leashes are also allowed on the trail and through the entirety of the Leever Preserve.
