Falls of the Ohio State Park: Fossil Bed Discovery Hike

Join a park naturalist for an outdoor exploration of the fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio State Park. During this guided hike, you'll examine ancient Devonian marine fossils and learn fascinating details about these creatures—how they lived, what they ate, and the natural processes that preserved them over millions of years. It's a hands-on way to connect with geology and natural history right here in the Louisville area. This program is completely free, thanks to support from the Fund for the Arts Cultural Pass. The main recommendation is to wear closed-toe shoes for comfortable walking on the park grounds. No special registration details are mentioned, so families should contact the park directly through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources website for any additional information about arriving early, group size limits, or weather-related changes.
