Reviews
"Great hidden gem. Even when it’s lower on water than other times, it’s still stunning"
"A one to two hour walk out then the same going back. some small bridges, a river that goes through the whole trail and lots of pretty little sights."
"Beautiful trail! Well kept! Not much parking area but well worth the time"
"While it doesn’t compare to the waterfalls of the Poconos, Stepstone Falls is probably the most beautiful natural waterfall in Rhode Island. While there isn’t much vertical drop, the falls go on for a considerable distance. The gentle slope of some of the large rocks that the falls roll over allow you to really get up close, especially if you willing to get your feet wet. As with all waterfalls, the best time to see Stepstone Falls at the height of its power would be spring or early summer, especially right after a storm. However, the other seasons are just as beautiful for other reasons. The trails around the falls run through some pretty dense forest, so autumn brings a beautiful array of colors. Winter here may not be for everyone, but the peacefulness is hard to beat. If you’re hiking, be sure to bring food shoes and to watch your step, as there are a ton of rocks, roots, and watery areas you’ll need to watch out for. I enjoy parking at the Ben Utter trailhead and walking out to the falls and back, but you can drive directly up to the falls if you’re looking for a shorter trip. Either way, you’ll have to drive along a pretty rough dirt road and parking can be tough, especially on nice days. The area is popular with hunters, so make sure to wear orange in season. In my opinion, everyone in RI should make a trip to Stepstone Falls at least once. Arcadia is huge and has so much to offer, but this might take the cake."
"Step Stone Falls is a small but picturesque place to visit. The best time to go there is springtime when there has been snow melt or significant rain fall. You can drive right up to the falls if you have a larger car, van or pickup truck . The road is dirt and not maintained so there are some deep potholes and ruts to navigate around or over so make sure your vehicle has plenty of clearance. Over all it's worth a visit."
