- clean and attractive facilities for a picnicking
We hiked most of the trails and saw all the falls! The pool and spa are both exceptionally nice and the Fireplaces and places to puzzle and read are very relaxing! The Inn was cold on Sunday when we arrived; people were in jackets and coats, even in the Dining Room! The fireplaces were finally lit the next morning and it made quite a positive difference!!
- good variety of trails
This is a beautiful park— it’s so beautiful that I often question if it is really a part of Indiana! Situated right along the Ohio River, border lining Kentucky, is this little slice of heaven.
Park is pretty compact, yet it offers so much. Highly recommended!
Great trails, beautiful. It would be nice if they had maps along the trail. Also, the best we could tell is Trail 2 runs along the river and you have to cross the river to stay on it - it's not marked and it's confusing.
- park provides some great views overlooking cliffs/falls; some take some effort to walk/hike to, while others are very easy and accessible
- small fire tower provides a nice observation area
All and all, I love Clifty Falls!
- just be aware that you’ll only see good waterfalls after a good rain; otherwise just be prepared to enjoy small trickles or dry cliffs
Cautions:
Good:
There is a great deal of hiking that is available here. Before you hit the trails, be sure to go up to the Inn and take in the breathtaking view that you stumble upon on the back side of the building. It is really a pretty sight to see.
- cut grass fields for various ball games
The only thing that really makes you bummed out is while you’re enjoying this beautiful view, as you’re looking out and about your view is obstructed by an ugly coal plant or some factory of some sort.
We will go back there in the future, it was a very good get away for a senior couple!!!
Also, make sure you go to the fire tower (or something like that) that is right by the inn and take in the really cool views there, as well. Beware of the copperheads!
Definitely another of the Indiana State Parks that is worth a visit! We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our room overlooking the Ohio River! The food at the Inns Dining Room was good quality, we loved the soup and salad bar and wish we could have experienced the Dinner Buffet!
- cool feature: an old railroad tunnel you can walk through (flashlight needed, low ceiling, rocky surface requires a little caution)
Beautiful park and falls. I loved the hiking and walking trails. A must see.
