Blackledge Falls
Blackledge Falls on the Blackledge River
Blackledge Falls Park, Glastonbury, Connecticut
Nestled within the forests of Glastonbury, not far from the Hebron line, Blackledge Falls is formed as the Blackledge River careens over an abrupt cliff and plunges into a shallow pool below.
The Blackedge River spans more than 16 miles, rising in Bolton and meandering through Connecticut’s eastern uplands before reaching its confluence with the Salmon River in Colchester. When it courses through Glastonbury’s Blackledge Falls Park, however, it is still a modest woodland brook in its fledgling state. But despite limited water volume, the 25-foot freefall plunge of Blackledge Falls produces a striking aesthetic that is actually somewhat rare amongst the waterfalls of Connecticut.
