West Rock Trails: Hikes to Waterfalls Near West Rock

Sperry Falls is a small drop on the Sargent River in Sperry Park, a Town of Woodbridge park. Drive to the gravel parking lot at 81 Sperry Road and walk directly down the path from the southeastern edge of the lot to the falls. Return the same way. Trails beyond the park are Regional Water Authority land and need an RWA recreation pass.
