Anderson Falls
A low (about 12 feet) but roughly 100-foot-wide ledge waterfall where the Fall Fork of Clifty Creek drops over a limestone bed in a 44-acre state nature preserve. Parking sits close to Trail 1, making it a short walk to the cascades.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Anderson Falls Nature Preserve / Bartholomew County Parks for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Anderson Falls drops about 12 feet. That makes it the 656th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 4% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
Access is documented as short hike. No trail distance is on record for Anderson Falls. The nearest town is Newbern. Confirm access and land status with Anderson Falls Nature Preserve / Bartholomew County Parks before setting out — some documented falls have no public route at all.
Spring. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
