Clifty Falls State Park (1501 Green Road,
Madison) is a beautiful, scenic park with gorgeous
waterfalls. The park has many hiking and walking
trails, some are easily accessible for small children
and some are better suited for experienced hikers.
Since the park is so large, you can easily find
a peaceful and quiet place to have a picnic or
just enjoy nature. There are campgrounds and
inns nearby if you’d prefer to stay overnight and
thoroughly experience the park.
The Historic District (Madison) along the
First, Second and Third Streets downtown contain
many of the town’s restored homes of the pre-
Civil War era. The area is simply charming and a
really lovely place to stroll and site-see. You can
pop in an antique shop, burger joint, boutique,
or just admire the historical buildings. Just a few
blocks away, you can walk along the banks of
the Ohio River.
Deam Lake State Recreation Area (1217
Deam Lake Road, Borden) is a spacious, wooded
park with many activities. The park offers fishing,
boating, and swimming. If you’re looking to spend
the night or weekend, there are campgrounds
available. There are many hiking trails of varying
difficulty levels available. Whether you’re making a
weekend of it or just spending the day, Deam Lake
is a great escape into nature not far from home.
IF IT’S SUNNY, YOU
BETTER GET OUT
AND TAKE ADVANTAGE
BECAUSE THE NEXT
DAY VERY WELL
COULD BE RAINY,
FRIGID, SWAMPY HOT...
Hidden Hill (1011 Utica Charlestown Road,
Jeffersonville) is a beautiful, sprawling botanical
garden featuring unique art sculptures owned by
local gardening guru Bob Hill. It’s a whimsical
place to walk around, explore and children will
love spotting the variety of flowers and looking for
monarch butterflies. Plus, the gardens provide an
incredible backdrop for photos of your kids! My
sister-in-law and photographer Valerie Johnson
loves going to Hidden Hill to take stunning photos
of my niece, Piper.
After so many days and weekends spent cooped
up in the house during the long winter, It’s such
a treat to get outside, expose yourself to some
fresh air and enjoy one of the many scenic areas
we have to enjoy both nature and time with your
YOUR FIRST CHOICE
FOR YOUR FIRST DANCE.
