Fort Wayne grew up where three rivers meet, and none of them falls. One entry shows within 50 miles, Shanty Falls, and our record on it stops at the name, so confirm access before you drive. Northeast Indiana is old lakebed and moraine, gentle ground, and its creeks slide along without much to trip over. When the waterfall itch gets serious around here, the car usually ends up pointed a couple hours beyond this page's radius.
