Tourists Call Clifty Falls Park “The Switzerland of Indiana ”

“The Switzerland of Indiana,” as it !s sometimes called, has won the name from tourists who have recognized the similarity of Cllfty Falls State Park to the wonderland of Europe. It Is very rugged, thickly wooded, with many deep gorges and excejlent views. The valley of the Ohio River at this point Is a succession of towering bluffs and sweeping panoramas. From Clifty Inn the tourist has a view of the river as it winds past Madison and disappears behind the blue hills of southern Indiana. The feature of the park is Cllfty Falls, some ninety feet in height, and a series of many smaller cascades. The road to Cllfty Falls passes through the home of Franklin College at Franklin. Columbus, on the route, contains the Irwin sunken gardens, considered by many the finest west of Philadelphia. Tipton Knoll, one of the largest Indian mounds In existence, is near the center of that city. Leave Indianapolis by Madison Ave. Follow State road No. 1 to Columbus and State road No. 26 to Madison. At North Madison note the sign at the entrance to the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane, take the cinder road to the right on the outside of the entrance. Follow signs to Cllfty Falls.
