Places: The Falls of the Ohio

We've already run across this important natural landmark a few times in posts.  It was the lair of George Rogers Clark.  Meriwether Lewis and William Clark met there to plan their forthcoming expedition in 1804.  It was also a strategically vital area on the frontier theater of the American Revolution.

The falls are a series of waterfalls on the Ohio River near Clarksville, Indiana and across the river from Louisville, Kentucky.  It was an important hunting area for Natives, the plentiful water making a convenient place for game animals to gather.  It was also a portage site.  It is now an Indiana State Park.
