"A pedestrian bridge spans the deep Mad Brook gorge at the crest of Rexford Falls, providing an easy-to-reach vantage point and leading to the undeveloped park along Route 80. Mad Brook flows through a long, gradual shoot and then drops into the deep gorge at Rexford Falls.
The falls are about seventy-five feet high. Below the falls the steep, rocky banks of the stream rise to a height of nearly one hundred feet and form a narrow, romantic gorge. At the foot of the falls is a strong sulfur spring, the waters of which have been used beneficially for cutaneous diseases."

" The more adventurous of us ... then take a 5 minute creek walk back up to the base of the falls...Crossing the creek was a somewhat tricky task -- the water was very cold, the current was quite strong, and the rocks were pretty slippery. I was in up to a little past mid calf and was taking it very slow and steady as I crossed even the shortest hops. I took a change of clothes with me and left them in my car, so I knew I was only 5 minutes away from warm, dry clothing."
