Description

Wadsworth Little Falls is a beautiful waterfall located in Wadsworth Falls State Park in Middlefield, Connecticut. The waterfall is the little brother to Wadsworth Big Falls that is located just over a half-mile away. Wadsworth Little Falls drops a total of 40 feet and it features dozens of small plunges. The waterfall is fueled by Wadsworth Brook which only flows strong after heavy rainfall or during the spring when the snow melts. Due to the water flow typically being low, the waterfall is not extremely popular.
