Every weekend, and even on weekdays too, you’ll find nature enthusiasts exploring Connecticut’s parks, forests, and beaches. Our small state has no shortage of natural beauty to discover. For those of you who have a weakness for waterfalls, Enders State Forest is one location that can’t be missed. Featuring an easy trail to a quintuple waterfall, this treasure nestled in the woods is a sight to behold!
Enders State Forest is a 2,100-acre woodland paradise located in Granby off of Route 219. It is most well-known for its five (or six depending on how you count them) breathtaking waterfalls.
