Wintergreen Falls
Hamden, Connecticut
Small cascade on Wintergreen Brook behind West Rock Nature Center; largely spillway-covered, best after rain.
At a glance
Overview
A modest cascade on Wintergreen Brook behind the West Rock Nature Center at 1090 Wintergreen Avenue. A concrete spillway now covers much of the original bedrock, so the falls run hardest after rain. Adjacent trails connect into West Rock Ridge State Park.
