Editor's Notes
Day Pond Brook Falls twists roughly 40 feet down a wooded slope in Day Pond State Park, Colchester, in plunges and cascades whose tallest single step is ten feet. Midway, a boulder leans against the falls in an almost natural bridge. The park's pond once powered the Day family sawmill.
