A small convex waterfall in the ravines of Shades State Park, viewable from Lover's Leap observation deck above Sugar Creek. Trail 1 is a 0.8-mile loop through a creek bed beginning at Devil's Punchbowl, with stairs along the way.
The falls are fed by tributary of Sugar Creek. You'll find it in Montgomery, Indiana. It is protected within Shades State Park (Indiana DNR).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Waveland, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (after rain or snowmelt). Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
