Clarksville

Tucked along the Ohio River at the Falls of the Ohio, Clarksville is a place whose character is shaped by a river passage that long directed travel and trade. Founded in 1783 by George Rogers Clark, it is widely recognized as Indiana’s oldest town and occupies the riverbank opposite Louisville, Kentucky. Falls of the Ohio State Park preserves broad Devonian fossil beds, exposed when river levels are low, providing a tangible record of an ancient inland sea. The Ohio River Greenway links Clarksville’s waterfront with neighboring Jeffersonville and Louisville through walking and cycling routes.
