We've been staying home to avoid the pandemic,
but since the stay at home orders are being lifted, we decided to get out for a change.
We figured a nature preserve would be lightly visited and opted to visit two preserves in west central Indiana.
First, we stopped a Portland Arch Nature Preserve.
It features the only natural arch in Indiana.
Its not a huge or magnificent arch, but it'll do!
There are two parking areas, each with a trail nearby.
Both trails were scenic and short, probably around a mile.
The preserve features sandstone cliffs and the pretty Bear Creek.
About 12 miles away, is another preserve, Fall Creek Gorge, so off we went.
This preserve has a natural feature called the Potholes.
I think we are in the right place!
Owned by the Nature Conservancy, the Potholes are a local favorite.
As soon as we reached the creek, we spotted the potholes under the crystal clear water.
We were unable to wade upstream through the ravine,
but here's a picture of the potholes from above.
Continued on up this inviting staircase...
To find a pretty waterfall!
Both nature preserves were well worth visiting!
