Brickett Falls is a knobby outcropping over (and around) which the meager waters of Mill Brook spill. You'll want to plan a trip to this waterfall with ample water in mind, so rainy weather, or spring visits are recommended. Along the way, you'll pass an interesting slide cascade.

The falls cascade over a knobby outcropping of a variegated lime silicate formation.

You'll want to catch this with water, so early in the season (I was there in late April) or after several rainy days will be best. Even then, don't expect a mad torrent. The falls are moderately photogenic. The bedrock has some interesting patterns and would be good for abstract work. The far side of the stream gives the better angles, a little rockhopping might be necessary. You'll absolutely need a polarizer as the rock is somewhat reflective and the water isn't readily distinguished from the surrounding bedrock. A warming filter might come in handy as the overall color palette is rather cool. Focal lengths in the 28-70mm range should capture this waterfall well.

Take Route 113 to North Chatham. Just north of North Chatham, look on the west side of the road for the Mount Meader Trail. The falls are a little over a mile up the trail.
