Groton Falls in the Wells River can easily be seen from VT Route 232 just north of US 302.  The river drains Ricker Pond, Lake Groton, and Kettle Pond.  The falls lie just south of Groton State Forest and have a parking lot large enough to hold one car comfortably.  There is a cabin just above the falls which can be a challenge to keep out of photos.
