Cane Creek Cascades is located in Fall Creek Falls State Park. The really great thing about this waterfall is how close it is to many other waterfalls. Fall Creek Falls State Park has numerous waterfalls, including Fall Creek Falls, Cane Creek Falls, Cane Creek Cascades and Piney Creek Falls. Each of these waterfalls has a very easy way to view them with either short hikes or overlooks that are right by the parking areas.

To view this waterfall, park at the Betty Dunn Nature Center and look for the wooden steps behind the building. Take the steps all the way to the bottom and you’ll be at an overlook for Cane Creek Cascades. The stairway is open at the side so you can climb out and venture closer to the waterfall.

When you exit there will be a short path right in front of you that will take you to the top of Cane Creek Cascade. There is an information sign that talks about the history of Cane Creek Cascades.

If you exit the steps and go down the rocky “path” right in front of the stairs it will take you to the base of Cane Creek Cascade. Little children and your four legged friends may need assistance getting down and back up.

Please note that this is a popular swimming hole at Fall Creek Falls State Park and will be extremely busy on hot summer days. Best times to visit are during the week or early in the morning if you don’t want a ton of people in your photos.
