Love coming to this place. It's peaceful, educational, interesting, and they always hold tours that teach you things everytime. It's free to the public and they encourage all to grab some hand shovels and explore the beds behind the education center. There you can find different minerals, gems, fossils and all types of great artifacts. A favorite of mine and my littles.

Free to explore the Fossil beds. Only cost to get into the museum and exhibit area. $2 parking. Be careful. It is 20° hotter on the limestone bed, then the air in the summer. Great time overall please visit.

This is one of the most underrated state parks in Indiana. My family loved viewing the fossil beds. Lewis and Clark met here before they began their journey west. The park brings history to life.

Was really neat. Had a great time walking with the hubby. The water was low so we could walk a little further today. You have to watch the water levels. To go through the center it does cost a little. Just a warning cause we left our wallets in the car. We did enjoy all the outside walking. Hope you all enjoy

No cost to just go to the falls. The museum does cost. They have a website with all of that information. I believe military is free

Yes, the park is open for walking. It's especially beautiful when the sun is starting to set over the river, but really it's great any time.

The only thing they explicitly disallow from collection is fossils. I would call the park office and verify, though.

You just have to have an Indiana Fishing Licence. The price depends on some variables, but the chart can be found here: https://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/2380.htm
