At a glance
Overview
Sanderson Brook Falls is an ~80-foot tiered cascade on Sanderson Brook inside Chester-Blandford State Forest. The standard approach is the gated gravel Sanderson Brook Road off Route 20 — about a mile of easy walking to a short side spur that drops to the base. DCR runs it as a day-use viewing stop; it is a waterfall, not a swim destination.
