Falls of the Ohio State Park
At 165 acres, Falls of the Ohio State Park is the smallest of Indiana's state parks. The park resides in the town of Clarksville, Indiana just across the river from Louisville, Kentucky. The Falls of the Ohio were a series of rapids that allowed the river to fall twenty-six feet in a little over two and a half miles. These rapids presented early river travelers with the only obstacle on the 981-mile course of the river. By the early 1800's attempts to circumvent them were already under way. Today the McAlpine dam obscures most of the cascades while raising the river level for better navigation. The park includes an Interpretive Center, the Devonian fossil bed and hiking trails. A picnic area, public access to the Ohio River and the George Rogers Clark Homesite are also in the park. The park falls within the 1400 acre Falls of the Ohio National Wildlife Conservation Area. The State of Indiana established the Falls of the Ohio State Park in 1990 to preserve the fossil beds that lay exposed on the riverbed. As the 20th Indiana State Park, The Falls of the Ohio specializes in public interpretation and education about the fossils.
