Falls of the Ohio State Park

Falls of the Ohio State Park - Clarksville, IN
Saturday, June 6, 2015

This weekend we were visiting Louisville, KY, supporting a friend in a beauty pageant.  We took some of our spare time to cross the river and stop by this small state park in Indiana.  The park runs right along the Ohio river and is part of what used to be rapids along the river.  It is now dammed and most of the falls are flooded.  However, we were treated with a really neat area to explore.  We were able to walk along the fossil bed that was once under water.  There were also a few short trails through the woods to explore.  We found many shells, and a chuck of rock which we thought was coal.  Overall it was a fun, quick excursion out of the big city!

Exploring nooks and crannies along the bluff.

We took a break in the shade and watched a family drive their RC cars on the rocks.

Climbing on rocks!  You can see the bridge to Louisville in the background.  Downtown Louisville is just past the bridge.

My brother will climb on anything...
