Upper and Lower Cataract Falls are easily a couple of our favorite waterfalls in Indiana and they're well-deserving of a spot on this list. If you were to ask us what our favorite natural wonder in Indiana is, this gem might be close to the top of the list.
It's a very odd-looking little rock formation, but it's pretty special: it's the largest free-standing table rock formation east of the Mississippi. Jug Rock is such a beloved part of local lore that it's even the mascot for the local high school.

Falls of the Ohio, Clarksville, IN, USA
Talk about another treat for the geology lovers! For some reason, it's one of Indiana's least-visited state parks, and that bums us out. This park is highly fascinating and jam-packed with educational opportunities and mind-blowing fun facts.
Squire Boone Cavern Road, Squire Boone Cavern Rd, Heth Township, IN 47142, USA
If you haven't taken an awesome tour of Indiana's most amazing caves, have you really lived? We think not. Oh, where to begin?
