Campbell Falls State Park Reserve

Campbell Falls State Park Reserve is a nature reserve spanning the Connecticut and Massachusetts border. The Whiting River flows through the property and creates a waterfall dropping approximately 100 feet into a rocky pool below.

The White Memorial Foundation gave the land to Connecticut in 1923. The two states then enacted special protection laws in 1924 to jointly manage and preserve the site.

The stone monument marking the border between Connecticut and Massachusetts serves as a geographical reference point for visitors exploring the natural reserve.

The reserve has marked trails that wind through the forest and along the river. Visitors can fish in the stream, but should check local regulations and be ready for uneven ground and rocky paths.

The site operates under a rare dual-state management agreement, making it one of the few natural areas in the region jointly governed by two states. This partnership allows conservation efforts to work across political boundaries without interruption.
