Delphi Falls Park
Delphi Falls County Park, opened to the public in August 2018, contains two waterfalls, a house, a barn and surrounding woodland. Currently, the falls are accessible for viewing from the bottom via a newly created stone dust path. There is parking just inside the gate, with three ADA accessible spots up by the barn. Long term, the park will take a number of years to fully develop, but with the progress made so far, we are excited to welcome you to enjoy this beautiful new public place!
Please Note:
Presently, Delphi Falls County Park is under development and there are no facilities onsite available for reservation. Madison County encourages using the falls as a location for taking wedding and special event photo’s, but please be aware that it is a public facility and there are likely to be people present at many times. We are working to develop a plan for the park that hopefully includes looking into how the Park may be used for weddings and other special events. We hope to have additional facilities and amenities developed over the next two years.
We also want to let you know that Madison County has two other beautiful parks that do have pavilions and facilities available for hosting weddings, graduation parties, family gatherings, and more. These facilities are available for reservation after January 1st of each year. Details for Nichols Pond Park can be found here and details for Oxbow Falls can be found here. A calendar is available for each park that can be checked for available dates. Please call the Madison County Planning Department (315-366-2376) to reserve facilities at one of these parks or if you have additional questions. Thank you!
