Hiking Clifty Falls in Madison Indiana | Hoffman Falls Trail 3 and 4

FINALLY!!! My first real hike in Indiana!

I went before it got really cold and though the tunnel was closed, I was still excited to go out on my first real hike of the year. From Indianapolis, it's about an hour and 45 minutes with no stops. Just enough time to listen to a long podcast.

The trail I took was 3 and 4 Hoffman Falls Loop. It's a little under a mile and was challenging enough to not be a walk-in-the-park.

This was a great trail for my first time getting out and filming. Although I didn't see a big waterfall, I'm hoping to come back and explore more in the springtime!

Clifty Falls State Park is located near Madison with entrances on state roads 56 and 62. The park's waterfalls change moods with the weather and the seasons and can range from roaring plunges to delicate bridal-veil mists to gleaming frozen titans. Winter and spring visits reveal them at their best. The rugged splendor of Clifty Canyon offers exciting year-round hiking and scenery.
Clifty Creek's stony bed is littered with fossil remnants telling of a long-vanished marine ecosystem that teemed with life that included ancient corals, ancestral squids, brachiopods, and more. Fossil collecting within Clifty Falls State Park is prohibited but nearby collecting locations are readily accessible.
In Historic Madison, tour the Lanier State Historic Site, the former mansion of frontier banker James F.D. Lanier, and enjoy the drive along the beautiful Ohio River. Plan a park visit during one of the community's special events, such as the July Regatta hydroplane boat race or the Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art in late September.
Please note: Clifty Falls 1852 Railroad Tunnel is open to the public May 1- Oct. 31. It is closed Nov. 1- April 30 to protect hibernating bats.
