KENT FALLS STATE PARK 🧗‍♀️Discovering Connecticut’s Hidden Gem | Marchmalloworld

It was around 1966 (I was maybe12 years old) and my family was spending a Sunday afternoon at the falls which we had done many time before. I haven't been there in so long but from this video it appears that the river/falls is now fenced off .. back then we could walk the river, swim the first pool and fish the upper pools. Well, my dad (WWII infantry Battle of the Bulge) an I were just above the last pool. When all of a sudden my dad started running down the river, jumping from rock to rock, full speed.. I ran after him. The next thing is see is the souls of his shoes diving into the deep pool. It seamed like he was under water a long time. As he surfaced, there was another man in the water with him and they both had a small child their hands. The boys father was standing on the large rock on the opposite side of the walking path. My dad yelled "why didn't you jump in"!! The man said he couldn’t swim. My dead yelled louder than I ever heard him yell. "YOU JUMP IN ANYWAYS"!!! That was the day my dad saved a young boys life!
