Hatch Brook Falls is a 30-foot waterfall on Hatch Brook in Northwest Hills Planning Region, Connecticut, in the Northeastern Highlands region. It lies about 9 miles northeast of Kent and roughly 25.2 miles northwest of Bristol as the crow flies.
At 30 feet it is taller than the typical Connecticut waterfall of about 25 feet, ranking 17th of 53 with a recorded height. By form it is a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.
The Northeastern Highlands are the mountains of northern New England and the Adirondacks, with spruce-fir on the summits and northern hardwood forest of maple, beech and birch below, and countless lakes and boulder-strewn brooks. Fast mountain streams drop over granite and gneiss ledges in chains of falls and pools.
