Geocache Description:

The Falls II.........

Caching The Falls At Clifty State Park II

Time to do the Falls again....

 

When: Saturday, July 18th        Where: Clifty Falls State Park

1501 Green Road *
Madison, IN 47250
812-273-8885

*Note: Due to a quirk with how our 1501 Green Road address is interpreted by major on-line mapping services, customers using this as a destination address are often led to a dead end street. To successfully build a map that will get you to our gate off of state road 62 please use "2221 Clifty Drive" as your destination address.

 

 

Event starts officially at 10am

Just like last year, caches will be placed around Clifty Falls State Park at falls overlooks and interesting sites. There will also be another bonus cache for our hearty hikers! You will need to collect a unique stamp from each location to be qualified for the prize drawing.

Prize Drawing at 5pm

For all cachers with the collected stamps, a prize drawing will start at 5pm. This should give everyone enough time to visit all the cache sites even if they hike to each one. If planning to hike, estimate at least 4-5 hours to complete all the caches.

Facilities Available

This year, the event will start at the Nature Center. (Event Coords)

 We will have a charcoal grill at the ready if you would like to grill something for lunch. So bring a picnic lunch with you. Bring your own utensils.

A water spout is on site and we will provide ice water available in jugs...bring a cup and keep cool...it is July in Indiana!

For the family member that doesn't want to Geocache, they can go swimming at our pool, visit The Clifty Inn, and the Interpretive Center.

**Be sure to wear proper footwear for the trails!! (Closed toe shoes or boots are best.)

 

Notes:

Clifty Falls State Park is located near Madison with entrances off state roads 56 and 62. The name Clifty Falls paints a beautiful picture in your mind. Winter and spring hiking shows the falls at their best while the rugged splendor of the creek and canyon offer exciting scenery year-round.

In historic Madison tour the Lanier State Historic Site, mansion of frontier banker James F.D. Lanier and enjoy the drive along the beautiful Ohio River. Plan a park visit during one of the community's special events such as the Madison Chautauqua Art Festival or Regatta hydroplane boat race.

 

Camping At Clifty Falls State Park

As of this post, there were many campsites still available and can be reserved through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Online Reservations system at:

Getting in the park

The usual State Park admission is required ($2.00 bicycle, $4.00 in-state weekday, $5.00 weekend, or $7.00 out of state vehicles). Whether you visit our great State Parks and Reservoirs for a day or an entire weekend, we hope you get out and see all that Indiana has to offer. Good Luck!!!
