    A great park. It happens to have a fantastic setting right along the river in downtown Vincennes…read more There was fog the day we arrived, and it was gorgeous to see it rising above the river and drifting along the grass area near the memorial. There is a small visitor's center available with a small exhibit and gift shop. Unfortunately, their speakers had broken, so we were unable to watch their park film, "Long Knives," onsite, though the friendly staff did advise that it was available online so we were able to watch it at home. The memorial itself is huge and located within an easy walk from the visitor's center. It does, however, require climbing a number of steps to enter, plus you'll want to check with the desk if it is open. They may be able to open it for you, if it's not already. If you opt to go inside, you can view a variety of large murals that detail how Clark's victory made the Northwest Territory possible. It was fascinating to see how the history intersects with other National Park/state historic sites we've been to - George Rogers Clark is the brother of William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame, and this Clark called a big meeting with Native tribes at Cahokia. There is also a large statue of Clark in the center of the space. There is a parking lot available onsite, plus nearby street parking, and it's easy to stroll right over to downtown Vincennes and explore the town, as well.

    If you like history, you're going to like this National Park Gem. You start in the Visitors Center…read morewhere they have a short film on the life of George Rogers Clark. When you go over to see the monument you have to climb a lot of steps and there is NO handicap access. We didn't know that if you want to go inside the monument you have to tell the Ranger so he/she can go and open it up for you. So when we got to the door of the monument it was locked. I looked up the number of the Ranger, called it and the got someone to come and unlock the door. The inside is awesome with a beautiful statue of Clark in the middle of stunning murals all around the wall. This is a must see if you are near Vincennes. Just remember to let the Ranger know you want to see the inside of the monument.

    While exploring Greene County, I saw that there was a moderate 1.6 mile hiking path inside the…read moreDilcher-Turner Canyon Forest. So, I crossed the railroad tracks (heading west) and pulled into the small lot at the south entrance. There is the usual wipe your feet before you enter and the sign in to let someone know the park is getting used. The park is a bit on the primitive side: no restrooms, natural trails, and only a few benches. There aren't actual trail markers, but during the right conditions, it seemed the painting of white patches on trees to help the hiker orient on the paths seemed to work. I could see this being a necessity after the leaves have fallen and covered up the dirt path. Note that there were several dry creeks that I crossed along the way, but because of the 60' elevation change, I could see the need to cross over water or at least muddy ground after a rain storm. The trail does have a short cut for those not wishing to hike the entire distance. After walking up a mild incline for .2 miles, there is a split in the path with a laminated map showing you where you are and the distances around the paths. I recommend snapping a photo of this since there is only one other map posted on the trails. The outer trail to the left (West) is the one with the best views of the canyon. Deep greens and rocky descents are seen and there is a bench to relax and just listen. No immediate access is available here to the canyon floor. However, the trails do gradually reach the lower portion of the canyon to the east, though never quite reaching the bottom, and certainly not near the viewing area on the west end. Along the way, there are a lot more rock outcroppings that have shallow caves. While observing a squirrel who had run into a fallen log, a deer ran by me within 30 yards to the crest of the hill, and then back to where it came from as I followed the path upward. Note: I wouldn't recommend going off trail here unless you have some high tech equipment or are just a bit crazy. The white trail patches are small and are only painted on the side that you can see them from the trail. If you wander off, you will need a lot of luck to find the markers again. If you are unsure, just stop and look to see the next marker before proceeding. They are there....just use patience. Overall, it was an enjoyable hike. I made good time on my trip, including stops to take photos, taking about 45 minutes. Review #1587

    What a wonderful place to get out of the city and just slow down! My honey took me here 4/26/26…read moresince we've had some nice weather lately. Pleasantly surprised they have many picnic tables, the cover bridge to see and of course the Falls. Just be careful when walking to the lower fall as you are pretty close to the ledge of the falls. Plenty to enjoy here. Next time we shall have a nice picnic and enjoy the scenery. You can swim too.Parking is easy but i'm sure it gets crowded in the summer time!

    Cataract Falls is a geological wonder worth visiting and only an hour west of Indianapolis. These…read moremagnificent Falls were created over millions of years as ice and water carved into the ancient limestone resulting in Mill Creek and two sets of falls. The Upper Falls drops 20 feet and can be viewed near the entrance to the park at several overlooks. We visited this week on a bright summer day. The waters were loud and rapid after recent rains. This is one of Indiana's most beautiful sites. There is a large parking lot near the Upper Falls along with picnic tables, grill, pavilion and small playground. We brought a picnic lunch so we could enjoy the Falls. There are pit bathrooms near the playground in a second parking lot. The Lower Falls are a short drive through the park. A nearby lot provides plenty of parking. The short path to view the falls is not paved, but an easy walk. These falls drop 18 feet with incredible views of the layered limestone exposed west of the falls. I was envious of a lone kayaker below the falls. There are marked trails through dense woods descending near the creek. You'll want to wear good hiking shoes and bug spray if you are up for the adventure. The property was donated by Agnes Stuckey in memory of her mother, Agnes Steiner. The Park is maintained by the Indiana DNR. There was no admission during our midweek visit.
