Campbell Falls State Park Reserve is an undeveloped, publicly owned recreation area and nature preserve located in the town of Norfolk, Connecticut. The state park offers hiking, stream fishing, and views of the park's namesake waterfall which cascades nearly 100 feet (30 m) on the Whiting River just north of the Connecticut/Massachusetts state line. Legislation passed in 1923 and 1924 provided for the joint management of the park after the land was donated to the two states by the Whiting Memorial Foundation. A stone monument within the park marks the border between the states.[3]
