The Friends needs a few good friends! As you can imagine with state budget cuts the parks systems are pretty low on the capital agenda. It is up to us, the people who love & live here. Those who visit and truly appreciate what spectacular specimens live within the park. The wildlife, the flora is home to rare and some almost extinct species. We need your support in our efforts to CARE about the park. It is only through your generous donations of time, energy and money that we ALL can accomplish great things here at Fall Creek Falls State Park.
