About Clinton Falls
Clinton Falls is a 20-foot waterfall in Indiana, on Little Walnut Creek.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Clinton Falls 5.5/10 — worth a detour. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Know what this listing is: Clinton Falls is a roadside glimpse, not a destination. The falls — about 20 feet total on Little Walnut Creek near the crossroads community of Clinton Falls, north of Greencastle — appears on the left side of County Road 350 N as you drive past. That's the visit.
There's no maintained trail, no parking area, and no managing agency we could identify. The polite move is a slow drive-by or a brief pull-off where the shoulder allows.
If you're waterfall-hunting in Putnam County, Cataract Falls is twenty minutes south and worth twenty Clintons.
