Great Falls is a waterfall formed along the Housatonic River at Falls Village in the town of Canaan amidst Connecticut's Litchfield Hills. Great Falls is the highest volume waterfall in the state,[1] though a great deal of its potential water volume is diverted immediately upstream during most of the year for hydro-electric power generation.[2]
