Section Of Canyon Road at Clifty Falls SP To Become One-Way

The section of Canyon Road that will change runs from the T intersection of Tunnel Falls to the T intersection at the park’s nature center.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Due to safety reasons, a section of Canyon Road at Clifty Falls State Park will be converted to one-way traffic only beginning on Monday, February 8.

The section of Canyon Road that will change runs from the T intersection of Tunnel Falls to the T intersection at the park’s nature center, with the change, only southbound traffic will be allowed on that stretch. The rest of Canyon Road will continue to be two-way.

The scenic road attracts a large number of hikers, joggers, road walkers, and bike riders. More than half of the park’s trailheads are on Canyon Road, and the parking lots by those trailheads fill up every weekend, complicating staff efforts when they need to make rescues and recoveries from some of the park’s rugged trails.

“By making this section one-way, we can add a pedestrian/bike lane to that stretch,” said property manager Brad Walker. “Although the change will take some getting used to for driving, it will be an overall improvement of our guests’ experience and make the park a safer place.”
