Campbell Falls State Park, nestled in the quaint town of Norfolk, Connecticut, offers visitors a chance to experience nature's tranquility through its stunning waterfall—a hidden gem in this scenic region. The park is a must-see for nature enthusiasts who enjoy peace and the soothing sounds of flowing water. The waterfall, Campbell Falls, is a breathtaking 50-foot cascade that gracefully drops over the rocky ledges, creating a serene atmosphere. Surrounded by lush forest, the area provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling world.
Apart from the waterfall, the park boasts diverse flora and fauna, with trails meandering through densely wooded areas. It's not uncommon to spot native wildlife like deer and various bird species. What makes Campbell Falls unique is its split jurisdiction; it lies on the border between Connecticut and Massachusetts, managed jointly by both states since its establishment in the early 20th century.
Visitors can access the park via a short hike, allowing them to embrace the beauty of the surrounding hardwood forest. With picnic spots available, it’s an ideal location to enjoy a leisurely afternoon. The park's natural beauty, along with its rich ecological diversity and the harmonious sound of cascading waters, makes it a standout attraction in the area.
