Nonnewaug Falls
The East Nonnewaug River contours swatches of farmland in the northeast corner of Woodbury, eventually slipping through a shadowy hemlock forest where it’s dropped some 20 feet over Nonnewaug Falls into an idyllic, moss-laden gorge.
So named for Chief Nonnewaug, the final leader of the territory’s long-vanished aboriginal inhabitants, Nonnewaug Falls has been a familiar and locally-celebrated landmark for nearly two centuries. Woodcuts published in the 1800s portray Nonnewaug Falls with much the same rugged and secluded character that it possesses today.
