Many trails to choose from, most are rugged so be prepared with good shoes and maybe a walking stick. The tunnel is super cool. We used our flashlights on the cell phones, advise to bring headlamps. Took 1 star away because many intersections of trails are not clearly marked which belongs to which (is this 3 or 4? Which way does 7 go?). Had other hikers ask us which way was out, thankfully we had our map to give directions.

We really loved the trails and waterfalls. All sites are pretty level and spacious. Everyone was friendly. A pet friendly place as well. Trails were well marked and maintained and almost all could be done with smaller children.

Our first visit here. Beautiful trails, views, and sights. Stayed late one night for a tour guided A night under the stars star gazing for constellations and the stories behind them. Great way to spend some family time. Will definitely be back.

Jaw dropping covered bridge built many years ago without the modern tools and machinery we have today. True talent. No wonder the bridge is still standing. Serene picnicking area. ️

This was our first time here. We walked some of the trails and viewed some of the waterfalls. Really a beautiful park. Lots of hiking trails. A small play area for the smaller kids. Pet friendly. I might have not went on the correct trails but all of the views of the falls were fairly far away. I really wanted to get in close to the falls and try to take advantage of the positively charged ions. When we go back we will try to get in closer.

It was peaceful, and serene. There were several hiking trails with varying levels of difficultyMany places were accessible by car, if the walk was too difficult. The staff at the Inn were great !! The river views were gorgeous.

We love this place. Well maintained, great trails and friendly staff! There is plenty to do and even ADA friendly trails to view waterfalls.If you want to explore an underground tunnel, trail 5 has something special for you!We highly recommend checking this place out! 5/5 would hike here again(and again(and again(and again))).

Great state park. Beautiful views of Fall colors in October. While it is wheelchair accessible, there are trails too difficult for many seniors. Nice, large picnic pavilion next to Restrooms. Pool (in summer), playground, and camping available. Lovely modern Inn/lodge with restaurant and store. But the Falls were not flowing in October. Its a dry year.

Loved this park. Its small but pretty and the town nearby is charming. The park was clean and the hikes were easy but fun.

Awesome park! There are many different types of trails. The scenery is amazing on each one. The park employees were friendly and very helpful. Check it out!

A great park for the family, groups, or individuals. Many different trail choices for seasoned hikers or a first timer, maps available that will keep you on point and never lost. Playgrounds for the kids, picnic areas for the family, and large grass areas for the dogs!!! Couldnt be happier with the visit and will absolutely be back!! Only reason for a 4 star is that trail markers arent very clear and you had to have a map to insure you were headed the right way.

Very cool. Paved/blacktop trail to one of the nearest falls (imo) that is very close to the parking lot. The other trails we went on are very rugged, lots of roots and rocks, and very steep in some places, but the steepest parts had very well maintained wooden steps and railings. Trails offered good views of the falls. Will definitely be going again.

Hidden Indiana gem. Really nice trails that are maintained really well. We had a blast hiking and seeing the falls. Lots of parking and easy access to all falls... And moderate to rugged trails in between. You wont be able to do them all in a single day. Be sure to visit nearby Madison and make a weekend of it. This whole area is peaceful and friendly. Cant wait to visit again.

We loved this state park. The waterfalls were a little low because it hasnt rained. We did get to see some. We got to walk through the cave and go on most of the trails. Playing at the park was nice and there is also a large grass area for dogs/kids to run and play. Restrooms were open, gift shop also. There is a lodge there and a restaurant we didnt get to try this time. There is also a nature center and several picnic tables. There may be a camping area also but we didnt see it. Stay safe everyone, and enjoy the beautiful outdoors God has provided.

Beautiful and challengingSo glad to see there is very little litter anywhere in the park. Nice playgrounds, shelters. Restrooms available. Follow the trail map for the best experience. It helped us to break up our day knowing which trail to take so we wouldnt be exhausted if we had other plans made for the evening.

We enjoyed every bit of this park! We stayed overnight off site but spent three days exploring the park. Many trails are rugged; however there is wheelchair accessibility to see Big Clifty Falls. The bathrooms were clean. It is easy to social distance since the park is so large and the trail system is so extensive. It rained overnight, so the falls were in full force the last day we were there. Expect steep climbs and a lot of stairs! It is a beautiful park and we want to return to explore with the fall colors.

Great hike. We took 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 8 then back to 5. Lot of elevation changes. Was pretty dry when we were there. W/b pretty challenging if wet but of course, the falls would have more water. Pretty place.

Really pretty park especially in the fall. Some of the trails were a little washed out but overall a great experience!

Clifty Falls is an absolutely wonderful park with breathtaking views canyons and gorgeous with a beautiful Falls and a man-made railroad tunnel that never got finished which is now a cave and home to hibernating bats through the month of November to May

This park is gorgeous! It deserves more fame. We hiked to see all the falls and spent two hours in the park. Restrooms are clean as well.

Did trail 8 to 2 and up and back on trail 4, then finished out 2 and 8. Total of roughly 8.5 miles.It was the toughest hike Ive been on so far in Indiana. I wouldnt recommend for elderly or kids younger than 8.The ascend back up trail was challenging after doing trail 2. at the end of the day it was a good challenge. I would do it again.

Did the Blue Bird walk which was very fun and informative! Dont forget to stop by the nature center first so you can get a challenge sheet to earn a pin or badge! Endless things to see and explore. Good for family, friends or just solo adventure time. Gotta love nature.

Long trails that can help consume your day. Great view from multiple areas of the park. Some of the trails are wide and nice for a stroll. The cave tunnel can be a chill respite from the summer heat. Animal friendly environment. Try one of the tours.

Deep canyons (unusual in Indiana), lots of trails with different difficulties, some great views. It is a wonderful place to visit. Best times are spring, because of how full the waterfalls are and fall because of the colors.

Nice trail heads. Ample parking with multiple trails leading down to the many separate falls located in the park. Beautiful weather helps too !

The waterfalls were not very active, but the surroundings are still very beautiful.

Loved the trails. All but one trail were labeled rugged. Campsite were ok. We like to have trees around us and between the sites. Our site was labeled as full shade in reality, it was afternoon sun. Bathrooms need updated but were always clean. This was our first visit to Clifty Falls.

Lots of trails filled with beautiful waterfalls and cliffs! Amazing place to get out and spend a day or two in!

This place is amazing!! So beautiful and the seem to keep everything fairy clean... The older man at the entrance was so sweet I wish I had gotten his name to give him a shout out... He was always at the south gate during our stay!! But this is a must go to place!! I cant wait to go back!! Also side note if camping there, Racoons give no Fs they will go through your stuff keep it locked up.

Haver never stayed in a State Park Inn before this. We took our dog and enjoyed two days of hiking. Thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and trails. Will definitely stay there again.

I enjoyed this park. I would add only completed trail 7. The map provided isnt super helpful. Pay attention to the terrain types the trail I completed I would say is moderate or more, many people had hiking sticks. Its pretty large and beautiful especially if you go after a rain and see the waterfalls. No swimming, fishing etc as there are no waterways. I would definitely come back nonetheless.

A beautiful park with some rugged hiking trails! Larry at the campground gatehouse was very helpful and lovely to talk to! Attended the turtle and bat programs, they were fun and educational! The tunnel was super cool too! Ill definitely be back, I didnt stay long enough to hit all the trails!

Went camping with my family this weekend. It was a really nice campground. Lots of trails and even a cave like tunnel you could go through.There were two downsides. 1 was that there was not a campstore. They just had firewood and ice at the campground entrance. 2 was you cant actually get to any of the waterfalls.

Clifty Falls State Park is such a beautiful drive in the Fall. Dont forget to stop at the Inn for a gift and see the view of the Ohio River and downtown Madison.

A wonderful park with amazing trails. Be sure to bring a flashlight to go through the tunnel and extra water for your hike.The Nature Center staff was very kind and helpful with lots of tips on which trails to pick and what to look out for.

Park is currently open. Entered via north entrance. Don’t know if south entrance is open. No entrance fee. Limited trails however. I think only trails 8, 9, and 10 only open given the COVID 19. Waterfall can be seen from trail 7 - if u go straight from north entrance.Muddy trail at trail 10. Did rain 3 days ago.Trails have markers. Trails 9 and 10 are connected. Lots of parking. Would recommend. Very peaceful nature walks.

This is a beautiful park, and the campgrounds are well kept and beautiful. The bathrooms and showers are clean and the employees are friendly and helpful. I spent 3 days camping and hiking the trails, and I was impressed with the natural beauty of the trails and the efforts of the staff who work to keep it that way. Honestly, I was inspired by the negative review about the raccoons..I had one come into my campsite, I named him George. He hung out for a few minutes and wandered off, lol. The park supplies firewood and ice at a reasonable price, but make sure you bring kindling, because its illegal to gather your own in a nature preserve.I will DEFINITELY recommend this park to anyone who would like to experience the natural beauty of Indiana.

Clifty Falls State Park is incredibly beautiful! The canyon provides for some amazing hiking and outstanding views. You would never guess that you could see 5 different waterfalls at an Indiana State Park, but you can at Clifty. Good variety of trails and accessible overlook areas if you want to experience some views without going for a long hike. During the summer you have the ability to go to the outdoor pool and participate in some additional nature programs, but fall/winter makes for a much more open view of the canyon and falls since all the leaves are off the trees. Be sure to go to Clifty Inn as well and check out the views, get some lunch or rent a room for a few days. Whenever you visit and whatever the reason or length of stay, you wont be disappointed.

Loved it, beautiful. Good eats, nice trails. I will be back.

The staff and the neighboring sites were all very friendly and helpful! We loved our spot after we chose a all sun spot unknowingly at first (my fault) and they let us change it for free and without getting snobby. The only reason I say 4/5 is because the outhouse on the primitive side was absolutely unbearable and hard to breathe in. Its ok though - the big bathroom was just down the way! Great times and great people.

Gorgeous place with something for everyone. Drive through for beautiful views. Hiking trails of every level. A wonderful place all yeat long .

Absolutely gorgeous. Trails are actually rugged as advertised.

Another beautiful Indiana State Park. Several good trails to hike with 4 different waterfalls. They werent flowing as well today because it hasnt rained much, but Im sure they would be even prettier during the spring rainy season. The nature center is really cool and the short trail to the tower gives a beaut view of the Ohio river. Several picnic areas and playgrounds for the kids. A lot of the trails are marked as rugged but are passable just watch your footing and bring plenty of water on a hot summer day.

It was so fun. Definitely enjoyed hiking the trails and the waterfalls were beautiful. It was so calming. I would definitely visit there to go camping and hiking again.

Great place for serious hikers. Most trails are rugged and can have up to a 300 ft elevation change.

This park is always beautiful. Went to the Inn for dinner. They have good food and decent service with a beautiful view. I miss the buffet though, cant wait until COVID-19 is over!

Love Clifty Falls. Its beautiful, and it has a nice variety of accessible trails. Im not a hardcore hiker or camper, but for a relatively casual day trip, I think its a fantastic destination.

Very rugged trails-- start at the nature center on the south end for the rangers to recommend a perfectly curated trail experience. The railroad tunnel is super cool!! Definitely more adventurous than we planned for.

A great state park. You need to go. The falls may not have water, depending on seasonal weather, but the rock formations and old train tunnel hiking are worth the trip. Great lodge with beautiful views and more...Reserveable shelters too!

What a BEAUTIFUL park!! It is very clean. Everyone you walk by says hi, which is rare these days. So absolutely love that. The gentleman that greets you at the gate is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he loves his job. Very nice guy. We drove over an hour to get here. Well worth it!

First time here.. and yes I have very much so enjoyed it. Lots of trails to get out and explore. Everything from easy to the hard. Very beautiful. Im from south central ky. And will return. Two down falls I seen.First they only have 30A hookup but we have a very shady spot so I can use 30A easy. But if we was in the sun I would want my 50A.Second they have NO water hook up at camp sites. Got to feel your fresh water tank. Just watch your water usage.

Great place for hikes for different ages and fitness levels. The trail signs are very well made but do not give a great deal of information. Very difficult to orient trail signs to map. No indication of distance from where you are on the trail to the next intersection or marker. The trail map gives a general idea of where the trails run but its very easy to get turned around. Met several people on Hoffman falls trail that were unsure of where they were on the trail.However, the park is beautiful!! Very well maintained. Several picnic areas. Lots of open space. The price of admission was well worth it. We drove from south central Ohio so the non-resident admission was a couple of dollars more. I dont think they offer a veterans discount. Still worth it.

We had a blast hiking the tunnel trail. Met lots of nice people doing the same thing. What a lovely way to spend time together. Great day!

Together with Turkey Run Park one of the most beautiful parks in Indiana. A real treasure. Starting at the north gate with trail 8 and looping back with trail 2 lets you experience the key parts of the park.

Had a great time, we plan on going a lot more. I highly suggest going here, had a great afternoon.

The Falls are worth the trip alone, but the cleanliness of this location is exceptional. Beautifully laid out. The trails are wonderful and provide amazing views of the waterfalls.

Absolutely stunning. Has some more technical areas on trail two and some steeper trails but overall is a very good place to go hiking.

Compared to other state parks, Indiana is pretty dismal. But within Indiana, this is my favorite park. The canyons, the hiking, they lodge: all good. Shopping is only a few miles away. I recommend a side trip to Madison for tourist shopping, ice cream or something.

We had a great time. The hiking was great. Had a couple days of rain so got to see the falls at their rare glory in the middle of summer. Campground was your typical Indiana state park campground. Stayed a week. Boy was it hot!!

Didnt stay long but will next time. So beautiful.

Just a very beautiful park! Several trails and some challenging, and Several waterfalls. One of my absolute favorites!

Ive heard Clifty Fall referred to as the little smokeys. The only thing it doesnt have are the mountains. Its by far my favorite place to visit in Indiana. And while you are there be sure to stop in Madison its worth the time to see. The view of the Ohio River is fabulous.

I give this about a two, beautiful scenery. I had such a great trip yesterday. My dog loved it! I ended up getting lost. My cousin and I. So I called hoping someone could help us. Some how I reached the campground around 6:45 pm when I called. This really nice girl picked up. She said she would call security to try to help us. But I guess apparently since it wasn’t an emergency security couldn’t help us. We told her previously we had about a half bottle left of water and our dogs with us. We were fine if one of us went back with a security guard and one of us stayed with the dogs we told the girl that. She tried to help us. Honestly so sweet. Absolutely loved her. She’s great! She told us to take trail 9 because we had to get to trail 7 And it would cut about 1-2 miles off where our cars were and I believe it was 4-6 miles away. We tried to call Clifty Inn because I thought they had separate security and they didn’t. The girl there who picked up said they couldn’t do anything about it. I told her it was going to get dark soon and we had to walk 4-6 miles to our car and all she said was “ok”. So i just hung up. We were on the opposite end of the park. We ended up running into this lady who tried to get the security guard to help us. She literally went up to his car and told him she lived here for 37 years and what if this happened to her and her kid and a whole bunch of stuff. About 15-20 minutes later he said he got approval to let one of us in the back of his pick up truck. So my cousin went and the lady stayed with me and our two dogs. Honestly the greatest lady in the world. So sweet. I never had an experience to this before. I thought it was crazy that he couldn’t do anything about it unless he had “approval”. We were lost. I had a gash on my leg because their was lose dirt in the ground from trail 7. And I fell down a hill. Not to far. I never mention that. I didn’t think about it. But we had hardly any waters and two dogs with us. I will not becoming back to the park. Not to mention when we got in the guy never specify how much the park was to get in. I had to run back to get cash and took out a 20. And he was rude because I guess he was running out of exact change. Beautiful trails I’m sure. My cousin and I came from Cincinnati to come here and i have never been treated like this. We are in our early 20s. Honestly the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever experienced. My question is what would be consider an emergency? Isn’t being lost considered one? Being dehydrated? Thank you to the campground lady who was just awesome and tried her best and same with the woman that help us as well!

Beautiful and clean. We saw so many rabbits. Its so green and just smells like fresh air out there! Will definitely come back!

One of the most beautiful state parks in Indiana. We love having this park practically right next door. It is a great place to play or eat at the playgrounds, hike on the several trails, and take your family and friends. The falls are always beautiful but especially fun if caught right after a good rain. There is much to see and to explore in this small, hidden gem of a park.

Awesome trails ranging from easy to a little more advanced difficulties. We love the overlooks and views of the creek. Cant beat this place

Excellent hiking for any skill level. The dry temperatures made trail #2 accessible, and the end view was well worth the rugged hike. We will be back.

Excellent park. Great place to relax and enjoy nature. The falls are great to visit.

This is an amazing park and campground. The rangers are all amazing. The bathhouses are cleaner than most. The grounds are well maintained and the hiking trails are spectacular as well as well marked so you always know what part you are on. Additionally they have a great pool, tons of picnic areas, tons of photo worthy views.

Prepare for lots of stairs, but you can also drive to lookout points. Very scenic.Falls might be more impressive after decent rain.

Great camp ground, warm showers and very clean. Views are nice and the trails are tough. The tunnel is a fun walk through if the season allows it.

Great place to take a hike !

Love it. I suggest going in the spring as the waterfalls are basically dry right now. Still beautiful. Also I think they could mark the trails better which is the reason for 4 stars.

I had a wonderful experience here. The park rangers were helpful. The map was clear and correctly described the trails.

On the day we were there it was somewhat crowded. Good hiking trails but with alot of steps. We had a nice picnic table, no one else close to us.

Had a good stay and EnJoy this State Park. In spite of all the Wear A Mask signs posted everywhere, some people are too damn stubborn or mean and do not follow the recommendation! It is not a Perfect World yet! Good Hiking here! Very Nice Inn!!

Really interesting geological location. Perfect for a short hike or taking kids out for the day. Features some large clifs and an old train tunnel of about 200ft. You can only look at the waterfalls however, as it is against the rules to stand below or above them. Trails are not tough. If you are a trail runner, the best you could get out here is about 10 miles. Great views though.

Amazing trails, Beautiful scenery and fun trails. Only semi complaint I have is I wish it was better marked on the maps on how best to get to falls and best places for pictures.

Beautiful park, clean restrooms and close to Madison downtown too.

I always love going here the falls are beautiful the trails are well maintained but if it rains prepare for the mud and its slick but still fun.

I had my senior golden retriever with me so I want able to hike any of the trails but there were a lot of them and I look forward to being able to hike to the falls soon! The water was pretty dried up the day went.

Beautiful and well kept. Took my whole family to social distance in the finest of Gods creation. The littlest (4 year old) to the oldest (19 year old) child all were able to hike many of the trails and enjoyed the adventure. We capped it off by eating at the Clifty Falls restaurant on site. Might I add, you wont be disappointed with this great food.

I fell in love with this place. During the summer it does get hot and there isn’t any shade over most of the camping spots. But that gets your butt up and hiking to see the beautiful surroundings anyway. So, blessing in disguise. The shower houses and bathrooms are wonderful. Me and my friends found our favorite spot out there and plan to come back in the future.

Whoa! Who know this little gem was so close to Cincinnati? Such a neat little weekend getaway. The trails offer enough umph but arent too terribly strenuous. The trails we did were well paved from all the foot traffic and had wooden stairs for added luxury and support.We recommend trail 7 to overlook the falls and trails 8 and 2 to see the bottom of the falls. 8 runs along the water. There is ample parking near both entrances.

Was on Creekbed Trail 2 when storm hit. Boyfriend paid to cross bridge from KY to indiana and $9 fee to enter clifty falls park at 5:30 pm. He is soaked and i had poncho but still got wet....scarey lightening while in watershoes in creek. Storming and still driving home. Here are a few pix b4 the storm hit

Beautiful day for a nice hike. We hiked trail 7 and about 2 miles (4 total) of trail 8. Clifty Falls had a fair amount of visitors today. Looking forward to our next visit!

Quiet place. It was not thronging with visitors. Decent hikes of varying difficulty levels. However, try to go immediately after rains if you want to see waterfalls as opposed to trickles ️

Great views, challenging hikes, a tunnel, an overlook tower, and so much beautiful scenery makes this park one of my top 3 in Indiana! Added bonus for being so close to all the great amenities of Madison, Indiana. This place is a must see! Also, the lady at the nature center was very informative about the park.

Love this state park.

Great for families. Lots of trails. The falls are very nice and the view varies with the rain and snow fall. Lots of wildlife. Clift Inn is a comfortable place, practicing social distancing with masks required inside any building.

I went camping here for the first time a few weeks ago and am already planning my next visit. The campsites were nice and I was so appreciative of the clean bathrooms and running water. Having drinking water available and a place to shower at the end of the day really make hiking that much more enjoyable. The only drawback for me was that the trails are not marked as clearly as I would have hoped, so definitely bring your map along and give yourself plenty of time to find your way back before dark just to be safe.

Posted all pictures love it cant wait to get a night at the hotel

What a fun state park! They really offer something for everyone, from ADA accessable trails to rugged paths winding above and through the valley. This park was a great stop to hike around and very doable to complete in a day, whether you want to hike the whole park or drive to each of the falls and take in the sites after a short walk to the overlooks.

Great trails. Sites a little close. Pretty campground. Facilities clean

It is important to bring shoes you do not mind getting soaked and full of mud. I came to this park as a kid and I love it even more as an adult. The rugged trails were fun. I didnt take any pictures of the rugged trails. The trails take you up steep hills, through creeks, up and down creeks, and through tunnels. Watch out for snakes, like copperhead snakes. I brought my nieces and nephews here and the next generation in my family now loves this park. My nieces and nephews (4-9 years old) did great on all the rugged trails! If you bring kids take them to the nature center because they will learn what spiders and snakes are poisonous.

A great place if you want to hike. The falls are a little thin this time of year but still worth seeing. Even on hot days the cliff areas are reasonably cool. The lodge and campgrounds are nice also. Not free, but you can get an annual pass for all the state parks which is a great way to directly support the park system.

Such a beautiful place to visit! They have camping, lodging, a restaurant, Gift shop and of course plenty of hiking trails!You cant beat the scenery and environment if you just wanna get out and enjoy yourself!Definitely coming back as soon as I can!

Very nice campground the lodge has a spectacular view and great fried chicken. it is also near Madison Indiana very nice town good for just a nice stroll.

Had some nice hiking trails. If you want to get the most of it go in the wet season most falls were dry. Some good spots to star gaze but do to surrounding lights still not the best

Loved the tunnel and falls. Hoffman falls wasnt that great but may be better in the spring. Had to pay to enter park. First park Ive had to do that. Pretty place tho
