OnlyInYourState: Ponaganset Falls

Ponaganset Falls is a man-made cascade where the Ponaganset River pours over the dam at the southeast end of Barden Reservoir, on Hemlock Road in Clayville. The falls can be seen from the road. This partial guide relies on one travel article: no parking area is described, the land around the reservoir is not described as open to visitors, and this listing's match to the named dam is probable, not confirmed by coordinates. View from the road only.
