This is 1 of 4 posts of photographs that I took at Turkington Falls Natural Area in Redding, CT this past week.

This was the initial part of the trail, which led to the Turkington Falls Trail Loop.

There were a lot of bugs and mosquitoes biting me, so I couldn't linger long in any one place to take photos.

Parking is on the shoulder of the road near the entrance, at approximately 41.312851, -73.398167 (across the street from the driveway for 94 Old Stagecoach Rd), but the area was overgrown, hiding large rocks. Be very careful parking on that side of the road, so you don't damage your car.

I came here specifically to see the cascades, but once I reached the base of the hill of the Reeve Biggers Trail Connector, the path looked overgrown, so I was unable to determine where the Reeve Biggers Trail was, and had to turn back at that point. The cascades can be seen from the Cricket Overlook trail, which is off of the Reeve Biggers Trail.

I need to return here and try reaching the cascades via the Reeve Biggers Trail entry point at the power line crossing on Gallows Hill Road.

This was the start of the Turkington Falls Trail Loop and the part of the path that heads to the Earthen Dam. I went right (North) at the trail marker and followed the path, part of which was almost completely overgrown with plants.

There were a lot of bugs and mosquitoes biting me, so I couldn't linger long in any one place to take photos.

This was the Earthen Dam area of the Turkington Falls Trail Loop. The third photo shows the rocks you first see as you reach this point. The Earthen Dam is nearby, a little farther along the trail. The stream leads to the cascade, but the trail takes a circuitous route to get there.

This was the intersection of the Turkington Falls Trail Loop with the Reeve Biggers Trail Connector. I followed the Reeve Biggers Trail Connector, but at the base of the steep hill, the path looked overgrown, so I was unable to determine where the Reeve Biggers Trail was, and had to turn back at that point. The cascades can be seen from the Cricket Overlook trail, which is off of the Reeve Biggers Trail.
