About

Clifty Falls State Park overlooks the Ohio River near Madison with 161 real campsites: 99 Electric and 61 Non-Electric (plus 1 Youth Tent). One of the only Indiana state parks whose own page explicitly mentions on-site laundry facilities. Brough's Tunnel on Trail 5 is closed due to rockslide risk; the rest of Trail 5 remains open. The seasonal pool operates weekends-only in the off-season.
