Marshepaug Falls
Marshepaug Falls on Marshepaug River,
Goshen, Connecticut
Tyler Lake gathers waters from the brooks and ponds of Goshen’s North, casting them southwards into into a deep, wooded gorge in old Canada Village.
So many mills were once clustered on the Marshepaug River in this area of the town that it’s difficult to determine now which of them may have drawn water power directly from the dam at this particular waterfall. And despite nature’s rather dramatic reclamation of the area since the long-expired days of waterwheel industry, the ruins of an old mill foundation can be found near the cascades, replete with a fading millrace that still shunts water from upstream after heavy rains.
