Hemlock Cliffs Nature Preserve

 

 

Location: From Grantsburg 1.5 miles south on SR 37, then west on the county road for four miles to the entry road. I know, these are lame directions, and I suspect they may be misleading as well; I'll have to go check this one out unless someone can pass on better directions.

Description: Not Visited. An archaeological site, among other features; excavations have shown habitation back 10,000 years. Typically rugged terrain for this part of Indiana. Supposed to be a natural arch and several caves (read shelters), as well as waterfalls. The Nature Conservancy says no trails, McPherson lists two, the Forest Service lists one. Another reason to go check it out.

Nearby Points of Interest: Harrison-Crawford State Forest, Hoosier National Forest, Wyandotte Caves, Carnes Mill, Buzzard Roost and Dewey Hickman Nature preserves.

Cautions: Usual climbing precautions.

Ownership: US Forest Service
