 Learn About the Park

Geology and The Falls - The Park is called Clifty "Falls" and, besides the marvelous canyon, the falls draw many visitors. From the 5 major falls to many minor side-canyon falls, the canyon can be a beautiful thing to see on any season.

History and Culture - The Park contains records and vestiges of the history and culture that took place on the Park's lands. From civil war underground railroad to the 1850's Brough's Folly railroad to the 1930's Civilian Conservation Corp and more, the landscape holds remnants of the past.
