Bluffs of Beaver Bend
Bluffs of Beaver Bend is a peninsula of land containing over a mile of river frontage along the White River with a varied terrain and unusual diversity. 100 feet of pure Mansfield sandstone. This stunning sight runs between the bluffs and scenic White River. The bluffs are owned by the Nature Conservancy and are protected by the State’s Department of Natural Resources.
Directions: Turn left from the Old Courthouse parking lot onto Capital Street. Turn right at the end of Capital onto US50 and cross the river into Shoals then at the end of the bridge turn South onto Water street. Stay on Water street as it turns into Spout Springs road and follows along the river. Just after it crosses the little bridge over Beaver creek, pull off to the side and park. You will be in front of Spout Springs, looking at old rocks and historic marking fromthe great 1913 flood that inundated the Midwest, nearly wiping out Shoals. The road to your right is passable down to a parking area on the right, about half a mile, or you can walk in. The rocks on your left are pitted and pocked with ferns and wildflowers, lichens and liverworts easily seen as you walk on the road. Beyond the gate, a trail up into the rocks gives you an opportunity to see shell mounds left by the Indians. This entire area is in the custody of the DNR, who maintain it for public use.
