Spring Getaway to Madison, Indiana

A robust calendar of activities at Clifty Falls State Park (2 miles west of Madison) offers wildflower walks throughout the spring, while seven hiking trails let visitors get up close to the veillike waterfalls that dot the park. Stick to the north end of the park, away from the power plant that disrupts the view along Clifty's southern end. See Midwest Living's review. (812) 265-4135; in.gov/dnr/parklake/2985.htm
