Confirmed from Talcottville Ravine Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area where people can see waterfalls, and explore bike trails and ruins.
What runners say about Talcottville Ravine Trail
“Hope this place stays clean.”
“We always enjoyed coming the summer to swim in this ravine, and visiting the beautiful waterfall.”
Very peaceful and beautiful walk/hiking location. Nice spot for beginners and kids. The waterfalls are beautiful!
Beautiful hiking trails here. Anytime of the year this is a great place to take a hike. Dogs are welcomed but must be on leash. Plenty of parking available too.
This place was a favorite for my friends and I much throughout high school. We always enjoyed coming the summer to swim in this ravine, and visiting the beautiful waterfall.
It was a nice trail. In and out. Beautiful waterfall. Definitely go on a dryer day.
Trail conditions & character
“To get to the waterfall / spillway at the end of the trail, you will need to walk along some rock ledge and then across a timber board, so be advised if you're hard of walking.”
“It’s massive waterfall, and truly steep valley shaped hills surrounding the rivers as it’s winds through is what makes this place unique and simply beautiful.”
