Louisville Falls Fountain as seen from Clarksville, Indiana, looking toward downtown Louisville, in 1993
The Louisville Falls Fountain was a fountain that floated in the Ohio River off the shore of downtown Louisville, intended to be a major tourist attraction for Louisville, Kentucky. Purported to be the tallest floating fountain in the world, it spouted 15,800 gallons of water per minute upward in the shape of a fleur-de-lis.[1][2]
The fountain, lit by colored lights, was operated from Memorial Day through Thanksgiving every day from morning through midnight, and stored during the winter in Utica, Indiana. When operating, it was visible from Belle of Louisville steamboat cruises, the Belvedere and nearby parts of downtown Louisville, as well as the Southern Indiana riverfront at Jeffersonville and Clarksville.[1]
The fountain operated from 1988 to 1998, when it broke down after an explosion and was shut down.
