Named after a German spa town, West Baden Springs is a resort community that has been welcoming guests since the 1850s. As a resort town, it offers accommodations ranging from cozy bed and breakfasts to rustic cabins nestled in the woods, but it's worth stopping by the historic French Lick Springs Hotel even if you're not staying the night. Visitors can also take a themed train ride on the French Lick Scenic Railway, visit the Vegas-style casino, or golf at the French Lick Resort. In the winter, the town provides easy access to the winter playground of Paoli Peaks, which offers skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.
