Ripley Falls is a 100-foot high cascade where Avalanche Brook flows over moss-covered sloping granite, creating a cool, peaceful spot to relax after a half mile walk in. The falls are easy to find by following the Ripley Falls Trail, which diverges left from the Ethan Pond Trail shortly after it begins at the end of the access road, which leaves Route 302 one mile southeast of the Willey House site.
