Living in Southern Indiana
Clark County
Clark County sits right on the Ohio River, with the Louisville skyline just across the water. Spend a morning walking the Big Four Bridge or exploring the fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio, then head north to the wooded hills of Clark State Forest, Deam Lake and the orchards and vineyards around Starlight. Historic downtown Jeffersonville, riverfront concerts and a candy shop making sweets since 1891 give it a warm, hometown feel.
