Roaring Brook contains nature trails, a diversity of habitats, wildflowers, and an 80-foot waterfall, the tallest single-drop waterfall and second-tallest overall in Connecticut! The trails are open year-round.
The Orange Trail follows Roaring Brook from the trailhead and joins the Quinnipiac Blue Trail, managed by Connecticut Forest and Park Association. The waterfall can be seen from an observation point on the orange trail. Some trail sections are rocky and steep.
Other views from the trail include forest, pond, a picnic area, tennis courts (for residents only), and chimney remnants.
Property information is available at the trailhead kiosk.
The main trailhead is at the end of Roaring Brook Road, with on-street parking at the end of the road.
