Near the village of Cataract is one of Indiana’s hidden beauties. Cataract Falls are located in Lieber State Recreational Area. Mill Creek meanders slowly through Owen County before making its descent over the cascades and two falls. The waters flow over the preglacial limestone bedrock creating curved ridges. The cascade tumbles over the rock steps resembling a grand staircase. The bubbling creek forms a veil of white as it falls onto the next level of rocks. Purple Redbud trees and new green leaves offer hints of color against the bleak colors of an early spring day. Many people are unaware of this gift of nature, but a few hikers and mushroom hunters enjoyed the area. |
