How to get to Cedar Bluffs, in Monroe County, Indiana

Starting from Bloomington, Indiana

• Go South on Walnut Street as far as you can go, which is to say, until it crosses highway 37. This is 5 miles South from 2nd street.
• Continue on what was Walnut, which is Old 37, 1 mile, to the first possible right turn. Turn right, go .1 miles, and turn right onto Ketcham Road.
• Follow Ketcham Road for 3.8 miles to Cedar Bluffs. (Ketcham Road twists around farms and things a lot. Don't turn right .9 miles west, unless you want to go see the Oolitic Quarry and elevated railroad trestle.) Park under the high-tension power lines. If you cross a normal sized bridge over a creek, you've gone about 100 yards too far.
• You should see a path going up the hill underneath the power lines -- follow that, and turn right at the top of the hill to see one of the prettiest places in the state. Don't be fooled like I was into thinking the 10' cedars at the top of the hill are the "attraction" of the place.
• Oh! I hope you're not afraid of heights!
• Spring, around late March, will find the place blanketed in wildflowers.
• Here's a crude map (129k) I made with MapInfo and TIGER line files...
