About Fremont Falls
Fremont Falls is a 118-foot plunge in Indiana.

Plungeworthy rates Fremont Falls 7.4/10 — worth the drive. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Know what this listing is: Fremont Falls is Indiana's tallest waterfall — a 108-foot plunge into a gorge near the Ohio River south of Hanover — and it is entirely on private property. There is no public trail, no parking area, and no managed access of any kind.
Some databases list it at 118 feet; the sourced figure is 108. Either way it out-drops everything else in the state, which makes the access situation genuinely painful.
We don't publish directions onto private land. Unless the owners grant permission or the land changes hands, Indiana's tallest waterfall stays a rumor you shouldn't chase — the state's tallest visitable falls is Williamsport, and its best gorge is Clifty, ten minutes north of here.
