Cataract Falls In Indiana Will Soon Be Surrounded By Beautiful Fall Colors
There’s nothing quite like fall in the Midwest, and here in Indiana, there are plenty of ways to embrace the season. If you’re looking for a picturesque way to view the beautiful fall colors, head to Lieber State Recreation Area in Owen County and lay your eyes upon the majestic Cataract Falls. Not only is this our largest waterfall by volume in the whole state, but it’s also one of the most incredible waterfalls to visit in the fall. While autumn might only last a few moments, you’ll want to make sure to take a visit to Cataract Falls in Indiana before all the beautiful fall leaves are gone.
