Description
The Seven Pillars, sometimes called simply "The Cliffs", lie about four miles southeast of Peru along the Mississinewa River. This breathtaking formation was created over the centuries as wind and water eroded the limestone, carving rounded buttresses and alcoves into the north bluff of the river.
The famed Frances Slocum Trail, which runs along the north side of the Mississinewa River, passes along the top of the formation. Although looking out across the river from as much as fifty feet up is spectacular, the way to see the full splendor of the pillars is from the south bank of the river. This magnificent formation is relatively little known, it is one of Indiana's best kept secrets.
