Yantic Falls / Indian Leap
This past summer while roaming Connecticut I stumbled upon the hidden gem that is Yantic Falls Indian Leap. Indian Leap is a beautiful free park with a small but incredible waterfall, an old train bridge, and some walking trails. Like many other parts of Connecticut, Indian Leap has a bloody past. Indian Leap got its name from an epic battle between the Narragansett and the Mohegan Indians. In this battle the Narragensetts were perused and plunged to their deaths off of the cliffs of the waterfalls. If you are a local or have some down time during your visit you should try to visit.
