At a glance
Overview
Roaring Falls is a roughly 18-foot punchbowl drop on Roaring Brook inside Mount Toby State Forest in Sunderland. The standard approach is from the Cranberry Pond parking at 1 Reservation Road, following the white-blazed Tower Road about 1.1 miles to a blue-blazed spur that drops steeply to the brook. Flow is best in spring snowmelt and after rain; in dry months it runs to a trickle. Slick rock, moderate-to-hard hike.
