Don’t let the cold weather stop you from getting out and exploring. These frozen waterfalls are pretty cool, and a testament to the awesomeness of Mother Nature. From the hanging icicles to the appearance of cascades frozen in time, these frozen waterfalls are no less magical in the winter than they are in the summer. Check them out:
- Mill Pond Falls (Newington)

- Chapman Falls (East Haddam)
C J Oliver/Flickr These rushing waters are hard to bring to a halt, and sometimes flow despite the pool below freezing over. But it makes for a unique winter scene.
- Yantic Falls (Norwich)
Linda Orlomoski/Flickr Known to locals as Indian Leap Falls, some argue this fall actually gets better in the winter. The compounded snow and ice narrows the gorge and forces the water level to rise, causing a greater rush of water.
- Westfield Falls (Middletown)
Alec/Flickr The frozen cascades of this fall looks like clouds. And the hike is pretty easy.
- Wadsworth Falls (Middlefield)
Karen P./Yelp This waterfall is one of the coolest in the winter because of its wacky ice formations. It’s as if the water splashing froze in mid air!
- Case Mountain (Manchester)
Morrowlong/Flickr This man made fall is perfect for winter hiking, as you can easily get close and it even has its own wreath.
- Duck Pond Falls (Milford)
J J/Flickr Another man made beauty, there’s no hike required to capture this picturesque New England scene.
- Kent Falls (Kent)
