About Kent Falls State Park

Two hundred fifty feet is the total drop of Kent Falls as it descends over Falls Brook, a tributary of the Housatonic River, in under a quarter mile. The water moves through a series of cascades, the largest of which falls more than 70 feet into a reflecting pool before continuing over the smaller falls below. The park sits within the Litchfield Hills, part of the southern Berkshires.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
