Mill Pond Falls is a waterfall located in Newington, Connecticut. It is promoted by residents as the "smallest natural waterfall in the United States".〔http://www.pulte.com/communities/ct/newington/woodlands-of-newington/brochure.aspx〕 The falls are located inside Mill Pond Park and is celebrated each fall during the Waterfall Festival.〔http://www.newingtonwaterfallfestival.com/index.html The Waterfall Festival's Official Page〕 == Description == Mill Pond Falls is located under Mill Pond inside Mill Pond Park. A walking path surrounds the pond and runs through the woods down to the falls. A wooden footbridge spans the top of the falls and an observation area is located in front of it where benches offer a view of the falls. In the park, residents are able to fish, walk, bike, and swim in the public pool. A gazebo provides a view of the pond's drop off into the falls. In the summer, the Newington Extravaganza allows patrons to ride boats around the pond and past the falls. A well maintained landscape and small garden close to the falls make it a very popular location for weddings and other ceremonies. During the Christmas season, the bridge and observation area are decorated with Christmas lights and other decorations. Mill Pond Falls is high. Its water flow is 16 liters (4 gallons) per second as of February 24, 2002.〔http://www.ctwaterfalls.com/falls/statistics.php?Millpond1 Connecticut's database of waterfalls.〕 On April 17, 2010, the Newington Waterfall Committee planted a Crimson Maple in front of the falls. They dubbed it the "Thankful Tree" and it gives residents the opportunity to express their thanks.〔http://www.newingtonwaterfallfestival.com/about.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mill Pond Falls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
