Daisy Low Falls, Indiana

Daisy Low Falls in May 2017

There are waterfalls in Indiana, and while smaller, some of them can be very fun to visit. In the Kokiwanee Nature Preserve, there are three falls. Check out Kissing Falls for more info about where I parked and started along the trail.

Daisy Low Falls is the second waterfall I encountered, and I was able to capture some good pictures of this waterfall. Frog Falls was the most difficult to capture. I somehow knew to look for Daisy Low Falls, even though it doesn’t show up on the current Kokiwanee ACRES Land Trust map. ACRES takes care of the lands here. Their map shows Frog Falls, and I know that Daisy Low Falls was in between Kissing and Frog Falls, Kissing being the first waterfall I found along the trail.

There’s a trail that follows the Salamonie River, and that’s the one that I took to find Daisy Low Falls. ACRES land trust still rates this as a more difficult hike, though I believe they’re referring to the a much larger loop you can take. I did not find it to be a difficult hike or trail to the falls, though I remember doing some uphill hiking on one of the trails to find Frog Falls. The one thing I would caution: It was very muddy on the day I arrived at the preserve. It had rained the day before, so I had to be careful not to slip, but that was the main issue. I don’t remember climbing much uphill.

Directions:

  1. This is an instance where there’s not an obvious starting point. You can approach from multiple directions. It’s in between Wabash and Huntington south of US-24.
  2. The official entrance to the park is off of E 50 S (GPS at 5825 E 50 S, Lagro, IN 46941). I instead went to the intersection of E 50 S and Stone Road, and went south on Stone Road, turned right onto the road that led to the Salamonie River Boat Launch (can’t remember if there was a more specific name).
  3. At the end of this road, there’s a parking area. The trail to the falls starts at the end of the parking area (read above).

Accessibility: 9/10 (easy)
Height: 10′
Length of Hike: 0.3 miles round-trip
