Wepawaug Falls is a small drop of about 4 feet on the Wepawaug River, with a twin cascade just downstream, on Woodbridge Land Trust land beside Alice Newton Street Memorial Park. The nearest trailhead is between 42 and 48 Indian Trail Road, off North Racebrook Road. A short, less clearly marked side path off the blue Naugatuck Trail leads to the falls. For a longer walk, the Blue Trail passes the falls on its way through the park from the Town Hall area.
