Now this one isn’t technically in Kentucky. Or is it? I’m not quite sure where the state line runs and when you are in what state but I do know that to get to this awesome state park you have to drive through Hoosier~land and park in Clarksville.

It’s not really a big deal though seeing as you never lose sight of downtown and Louisville and due to the fact that the Falls had such a major impact on the city Louisville. In fact, the city probably wouldn’t even exist without the Falls. The low level water and rocky fossil beds of the Falls caused headaches for many Ohio River boaters requiring them to stop and rely on the indigenous Louis~villians for help and thus led to growth in the city.

My friend Chris struggling with the great ethical decision of whether or not to pay the admission fee

When arriving you are supposed to pay a $2 admission fee which you leave in a little drop box in the parking lot. I’m not really sure how often this is actually checked or if anyone really cares. During my visit, we only had a single dollar bill anyways so that was all we left in the drop box.

Come to find out the museum closes at 5 PM so there probably wasn’t anyone going to check anyways. So we set out and started roaming the grounds.

This place is really neat in the summertime because its dried up and you can see a lot more of the fossil beds. There were even people fishing the day we went. This led me to a great debate in my mind though, if you’re standing in Indiana, but fishing in a body of water that belongs to Kentucky, do you need an Indiana Fishing License or a Kentucky Fishing License.

Additionally, there are plenty of woods to walk around if privacy is your thing. This park is 220 acres of pure aesthetics that are worth spending an afternoon seeing at any given point during the year. On departure, there is a nice watering hole around the bend called The Levee. The Levee has skeeball and an outdoor pool table. I highly recommend.
