A low series of cascades where the Wood River sheets across bedrock shelves in 2-4 foot steps, dropping roughly 10-15 feet total, in the Arcadia Management Area. The falls sit just steps from Falls River Road and can also be reached via the Ben Utter Trail.
Its 10 ft drop is taller than about 3% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Wood River. It lies in Kent, Rhode Island. The site is on public land managed by Arcadia Management Area (RI DEM).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Little to no walking is required, so it suits a quick roadside pull-off rather than a dedicated hike. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.7 miles round trip. The nearest town is West Greenwich.
When to go: spring through fall. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
