The Trail In Indiana That Will Lead You On An Adventure Like No Other

Nestled in the town of Williamsport, Indiana, is a short-and-sweet, super-easy hike just waiting to be embarked upon. It’s beautiful – as are pretty much all of our state’s hiking trails – and sometimes, when the timing is just right, you can catch one of Indiana’s most incredible free-falling waterfalls along the way. Take an epic adventure hike in Indiana on the Williamsport Falls Loop Hike; it’s quick, easy, and immensely rewarding.

We'll begin by telling you one thing: time your hike for after a rainstorm or during a big snowmelt.

Should you come in the spring, you'll be greeted by wildflowers blossoming along the trail and all throughout the woods. And should your timing be perfect, you're in for an amazing treat.
The Williamsport Falls Loop Hike is a lovely gravel and/or dirt path leading through a vibrant wooded area with plenty of wildlife, like birds, to be spotted.

For being so close to town, this hike seems as if it's a million miles away from it all.
Honestly, though, even when the falls aren't active, it's still a great hike, especially if you're looking for something quick and simple.

Meander among the trees into a gorge-like area where you'll (hopefully) encounter the falls.
Take note of the fascinating and beautiful geology of the region; it's uniquely Indiana and feels much more "out in the wild" than it is.

Better still: the waterfall is located toward the beginning of the hike, so you can either visit right away, or loop around the opposite direction to ensure the trails guides you straight there as a "reward" at the end.
When it's roaring, Williamsport Falls is quite the sight to behold.

It is intensely beautiful, feeling like something more out of Middle Earth than in Indiana, of all places (or the Midwest at all, really).
The creek fed by the falls is crystal-clear and chilly during even the warmest months.

In the winter, the falls freeze over, which offers some truly memorable experiences should you come out during the coldest time of year. If you haven't ever experienced a frozen waterfall, definitely try to make it out to Williamsport Falls after the first or second snow of the year.
Don't forget to venture behind the falls while you're there.
