Cataract Falls (Upper Falls) is a smaller cascade waterfall in Indiana, with a drop of about 45 ft.
Its water comes from Mill Creek. It lies in Owen County, Indiana. The site is on public land managed by Indiana Department of Natural Resources (Cataract Falls State Recreation Area / Lieber SRA).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. The nearest town is Spencer.
When to go: Spring. Like most waterfalls, Cataract Falls (Upper Falls) runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
