A spring-fed cascade at the mouth of Donaldson Cave in Spring Mill State Park, reached by the rugged 2-mile Trail 4 loop. Mill Creek's spring water historically powered a flume-fed gristmill in the park's restored pioneer village.
Its water comes from Mill Creek. It lies in Lawrence, Indiana. The site is on public land managed by Spring Mill State Park (Indiana DNR).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Reaching it takes a moderate walk, so budget time and pack water before you set out. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Mitchell.
When to go: Spring (after rain or snowmelt). Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
