Fall Creek Gorge, known locally as The Potholes, is a narrow sandstone canyon containing many large and small potholes in the bedrock stream bed. These potholes have been created over time by the fast-moving water of Fall Creek as it swirls through the gorge. The water flowing through the gorge is of extremely high quality as is indicated by its “exceptional use” designation by the State Board of Health. Rare and unusual species which can be found in the preserve include snow trillium, grass-of-parnassus, white pine, and a native bush honeysuckle. (source)
Fall Creek Gorge is one of the most scenic areas in west central Indiana with its steep walled canyons, tumbling waters, and potholes — large, circular openings in the sand rock that form the bed of the canyon — providing a picturesque home for unusual flora and thriving fauna. (source)
