close to this beautiful covered bridge, just below the falls:
No photo of the falls, as we didn't have our park passes to get in to the park to go see the falls, as we were too cheap to pay. Next time we'll remember, as this was a beautiful ride, we will do it again for sure. Who knew there are waterfalls in Indiana!
