Waterfall Hikes Near Richmond, IN
within 50 miles
Richmond has Elkhorn Falls practically in its backyard, on Elkhorn Creek south of town, though our file holds no trail numbers for it. Derbyshire Falls gives a measured mile each way at an easy grade, dogs fine. Greenville Falls covers the same distance as a loop over in Ohio, where Greenville Creek cuts through limestone. All three fit inside a single unhurried morning, and spring flow decides how much water you get.
