MORE WATERFALLS IN RHODE ISLAND

STATE	WATERFALL NAME	SCENIC POTENTIAL	TOWN	NOTES & DESCRIPTION
RI	Albion Falls	POOR	Lincoln	this is a DAM along the Blackstone River
RI	Ashton Falls	POOR	Lincoln	this is another DAM along the Blackstone River
RI	Blackstone Gorge	POOR	North Smithfield	this is a DAM with a gorge below it; access is supposedly via Blackstone River & Canal Heritage State Park
RI	Bliss Falls	POOR	Unknown	rumored falls or DAM on the Ten Mile River; I wonder if this is the same waterfall as Hunt's Mills Falls?
RI	Branch River Falls	POOR	Unknown	my guess is that this is a DAM or is at least DAM-controlled; supposedly "near Pawtucket"; not much information is known about these falls, and there's a chance it goes by another name (perhaps another waterfall or DAM listed on this page?)
RI	Falls, The	POOR	North Kingstown	small set of natural cascades within the King/Benson Preserve Trail system, which includes the King Preserve, a relatively new property of The Nature Conservancy (created in 2016); a trail map can be found on the The Nature Conservancy website; the falls are off the white-blazed Pettaquamscutt Trail, and the trailhead is on Snuff Mill Road
RI	Fisherville Brook Falls	POOR	Exeter	this is a small DAM within the Fisherville Brook Wildlife Refuge; At the end of the (upper) pond is a little waterfall and DAM that is a great place to stop and have a rest or bite to eat
RI	Forest Brook Falls	POOR	Unknown	most likely PRIVATE PROPERTY; I am unsure if this is a DAM or natural falls
RI	Georgiaville Dam & Gorge	POOR	Smithfield	a DAM with small cascades and a gorge below it; Woonasquatucket River
RI	Harrisville Falls	POOR	Burrillville	a stone DAM near the center of the village of Harrisville in the town of Burrillville
RI	Hunt's Mill Falls (picture)	POOR	Rumford or East Providence	a DAM and fish ladder with some small cascades directly below the DAM and a few more just downstream; Ten Mile River; access via Hunt's Mills Road near US-44
RI	Lime Rock Cascades	POOR	Unknown	my guess is that this is a DAM or is at least DAM-controlled; Moshassuck River
RI	Lawton Valley Falls	FAIR	Newport	based on a historical postcard I have seen, this looks like a pretty and natural waterfall; this is likely near the Lawton Valley Reservoir; however, I highly suspect is it located on PRIVATE PROPERTY
RI	Mill Falls	POOR	Unknown	may or may not be a DAM; Stillwater River; this may be the same thing as "Stillwater Falls" or "Woonsocket Falls"
RI	Pawtucket Falls	POOR	Pawtucket	a DAM on the Blackstone River
RI	Pawtuxet Falls	POOR	Warwick & Cranston	a series of very small cascades and rapids on the Pawtucket River; this is the site of Rhode Island's largest DAM removal site (the DAM was removed in 2011 to allow fish to once again travel upstream); this is not the same place as "Pawtucket Falls"; the falls are visible from Broad Street (also known as the Narragansett Parkway")
RI	Pine Swamp Brook Falls	FAIR	Coventry	there is a small waterfall and some smaller cascades on Pine Swamp Brook in the Foster section of the George B. Parker Woodland Wildlife Refuge; the falls are near the bridge where the trail crosses the stream; you may have to do a short amount of bushwhacking either upstream or downstream from that bridge
RI	Pocasset Falls	POOR	Johnston	seasonal but natural falls near I-295; access requires traveling through a large, long and dark culvert, which can be dangerous and is probably illegal; the conundrum is that the best time to visit these falls (late winter/early spring, or after heavy rains) is also the most dangerous time to visit them
RI	Ponaganset Falls	POOR	Unknown	a DAM of the Scituate Reservoir
RI	Robin Hollow Pond Falls	POOR	Cumberland	I believe this is a small DAM; you may be able to see the DAM from Dexter Street
RI	Shannock Horseshoe Falls	POOR	Richmond	a horseshoe-shaped DAM within the village of Richmond known as Shannock
RI	Soucy Falls	POOR	Woonsocket	this is a three-tiered DAM on Harris Pond; the DAM is just south of the MA-RI border
RI	Stillwater Falls	POOR	Unknown	my guess is that this is a DAM or is at least DAM-controlled; Woonasquatucket River; may also be called Stillwater Pond Falls; this may be the same place as "Mill Falls"
RI	Table Rock Falls	POOR	Unknown	no other information known, and at this point, I'm not sure where I even originally found this waterfall reference (is this even a real place?)
RI	Treadmill Falls	POOR	Unknown	no other information known, and at this point, I'm not sure where I even originally found this waterfall reference (is this even a real place?)
RI	Vernal Shower	POOR	Unknown	no other information known, and at this point, I'm not sure where I even originally found this waterfall reference (is this even a real place?)
RI	Wolf Hill Quarry Falls	POOR	Smithfield	seasonal but natural waterfall either within or very close to the Wolf Hill Preserve; access to the falls is supposedly via off Mountaindale Road; this waterfall can be quite pretty after heavy rains or during periods of rapid snowmelt since it is almost completely surrounded by bright and thick green moss; good video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCPH4Emts-M&feature=youtu.be
RI	Woonsocket Falls	POOR	Woonsocket	a DAM on the Blackstone River

HOW CAN I FIND EVEN MORE WATERFALLS?

• Scan through in-circulation and out-of-print waterfall and hiking guidebooks; try to obtain copies of out-of-print books through used-book stores or websites, or by searching through the Google Books website.
• Review this great website: World Waterfall Database
• Scan paper and online maps for towns and cities that have a “Falls Road” or "Cascade Road".
• Look at topo maps to see where rivers drop dramatically in elevation in a short distance. Then either (a) review that area on Google Maps (using its terrain feature) or Google Earth; or (b) go actually hike or bushwhack up and down those rivers.
• Examine both current and historical trail maps (including those 100+ years old because many waterfalls become "lost" over time).
• When visiting waterfalls and swimming holes, talk to the local residents and ask if they know of any others nearby.
• Scan through social media and photography websites (e.g. Flickr) that focus on waterfalls or photography of a specific region and/or state.
• Search Google by a town or region
• i.e. Danvers, Massachusetts waterfall
• i.e. waterfalls near Danvers, Massachusetts
• i.e. waterfalls of the Berkshires
• i.e. best waterfalls in Maine
• i.e. swimming holes Rangeley Lake
• i.e. top waterfalls in Rutland county
• Search Google by a nature park
• i.e. waterfalls of Acadia National Park
• i.e. Baxter State Park waterfalls
• i.e. swimming holes White Mountain National Forest
• i.e. waterfalls Green Mountain National Forest
• Search Google by a river, brook or stream
  • i.e. "Halfway Brook" waterfall
  • i.e. "New Haven River" cascade
  • i.e. "Nancy Brook" falls
• Follow waterfall-related Facebook “pages” and “groups”.
• Talk to local nature photographers and/or follow their photography or hiking blogs.
• Find people on Facebook or hiking forums who purposely seek out off-the-beaten-path places and read about their adventures.
• Visit an existing waterfall and hike or bushwhack both upstream and downstream of the main waterfall for more waterfalls.
• Search for old waterfall postcards, especially at antique stores and shows.
• Look through Delorme's Atlas & Gazetteers, looking for marked waterfalls or symbols that represent waterfalls.
• Periodically try to revisit waterfalls that are closed to the public. While odds are good that the falls will still be off-limits to the general public, there is always a chance that the land changed hands and is now open to visitors.
