About this spot
Westfield Falls sits on Fall Brook just off Miner Street in Middletown, a few hundred feet from a small roadside pull-off that holds only 6-8 cars. Two drops are visible: an 18-foot plunge and a 15-foot horsetail landing in a pool locals call the Ice Box, both popular with jumpers according to TikTok clips and local guides. Rocks around the pools get slimy, so water shoes help with footing on the approach and at the ledge. Flow and pool depth vary with rainfall and season, so scout before jumping. No official swim ban was found for this stretch, but it sits close to I-91 with no lifeguard, signage, or depth markers, so treat depth and submerged rock as unknowns each visit.
Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
