Hindostan Falls sits in Martin County, Indiana. The base sits at roughly 449 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 6 minutes from Shoals.

Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
