Lower Delphi Falls is a 65-foot cascade on the East Branch of Limestone Creek in Delphi Falls County Park, run by Madison County. From the parking lot, follow the paved driveway and the gravel lower falls trail past the old homestead, now Cascades Hall, to a viewpoint in front of the lower falls. The trail is built to ADA guidelines. A separate Rim Trail of about a third of a mile leads to viewpoints of the upper and lower falls. Climbing the falls and swimming are not allowed.
