Yantic Falls, also called Indian Leap or Uncas Leap, is a 40-foot drop below a dam on the Yantic River in Norwich. A footbridge on the paved Heritage Riverfront Trail gives a view of the falls and the cove below. The Last Green Valley says the walkway is handicap accessible and tells visitors to park at Howard T. Brown Memorial Park. The walking distance from that park was not confirmed.
