About this spot
Falls Brook Falls sits along the 1.5-mile Falls Brook Trail loop in Tunxis State Forest (public land), reached from free roadside parking on Morrison Hill Road (CT-20) in West Hartland. The brook tumbles through several smaller cascades before two named drops -- an upper ~20-foot staircase/horsetail and a lower plunge-and-staircase. The trail is moderate, with rocky sections and stream crossings that get harder in high water. It's a well-documented hiking destination, but sources describe it as a scenic hike-to waterfall rather than a swimming or jumping spot; no cliff-jumping culture is documented.
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.
