Torrington sits in the Litchfield Hills with the Berkshires spilling over the state line just north, and that border country holds the best of its twenty-four falls. Campbell Falls near Norfolk takes half a mile. Umpachene Falls, just over into Massachusetts, pairs a swimming hole with barely a tenth of a mile of walking. Race Brook Falls in Sheffield is the workout, three miles with 800 feet of climbing. Dogs travel well here, welcome at every fall on this list with a trail.
