Clifty Falls State Park North Gate
Nature
Indiana state park featuring dramatic waterfall gorges and fossil-bearing limestone — geology, water erosion, and regional ecology along maintained trail systems.
What families say
Families praise the scenery and waterfalls here, with trails ranging from easy walks to more rugged, stair-heavy routes like Trail 7, so there's something for different ages and fitness levels—plus binoculars for viewing falls without hiking if needed. Amenities are solid for a group outing: picnic tables, playgrounds, restrooms, and a pool, and the park is generally described as well-maintained and safe. One reviewer reported a scary incident with rock-throwing teens near Hesa Cascades, so it may be worth checking current conditions or sticking to well-trafficked trails.
