Waterfall Hikes in Indiana (IN)
to explore
Indiana's waterfalls are concentrated where the southern uplands and dissected sandstone-and-limestone plateaus meet river valleys and Ohio River bluffs, while the glaciated northern plain and Lake Michigan dunes produce smaller coastal and lowland cascades. Trails are mostly short to moderate day hikes with steep steps, creek crossings and occasional canyon scrambles rather than long backcountry routes, and the state is notable for ledge-style and spring-fed falls easily reached from cities.
