Yellow Creek State Park is the only state park in Indiana County. The park is a little less than 3,000 acres in size and includes the 751 acre lake which is available for swimming, boating and fishing. There is a boat rental at the park. The park also rents camping cottages,yurts and pavilions. This photo was taken on the park's North Shore after a boat had passed the area.
This 1916 photo in the Indiana, PA Progress newspaper refers to what we know as Buttermilk Falls as Aurora Falls. We are not sure when the name Buttermilk Falls became the more commonly used name. The paper described the falls as 'Indiana County's Miniature Niagara'.
