Pocasset Falls
Johnston, Rhode Island
Seasonal Pocasset River drop buried between I-295 lanes in Johnston. Access via a highway culvert — reference only, do not attempt.
At a glance
Overview
Pocasset Falls is a seasonal natural drop on the Pocasset River in Johnston, buried between the northbound and southbound lanes of I-295 just north of the Route 6 interchange. Much of the river through this stretch was culverted during highway construction, and reaching the falls requires walking a large dark concrete pipe beneath the interstate. Treat this as a history-and-archive reference, not a legitimate visit — access is dangerous and likely illegal.
