Indian Falls is a small waterfall located at Hedden County Park in Mine Hill Township. The 10.7-foot waterfall is situated on Jackson Brook, a small, rocky tributary that features numerous small cascades. Indian Falls is unique in that it features a massive boulder in the middle of the falls, splitting it into two. Due to this boulder, it is surprisingly difficult to view the whole waterfall at once, despite its relatively small size. The area surrounding the falls is very rocky, and it is easy to cross Jackson Brook to get a different view of the waterfall.

Please Keep Jackson & Wallace Brooks Natural
Damming waterways damages the stream ecology by:
- Disturbing the stream bed; trapping sediment and stirring up silt and mud
- Blocking the movement of fish and invertebrates
- Warming the water and reducing the oxygen levels needed for aquatic life
- Altering stream flow and increasing bank erosion.
Please enjoy this natural area without altering it or leaving trash behind.
