Things to Do in Indiana
The Indiana Culinary Trails provided by the Indiana Foodways Alliance are a wonderful way to experience your own personal food tours of the state.
From the extensive caves of southern Indiana to the Great Lakes of the north and northeast, Indiana has no shortage of day trips that can be easily accessed from Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati or Chicago.
Indiana felt familiar in a way that made me slow down and look closer. There was a rhythm to it—porch swings, back roads, town squares—that invited a kind of ease I hadn’t realized I’d been missing. I remember thinking, “This is the kind of place where meaning hides in the quiet.”
What stayed with me were the gentle surprises: a winding trail through golden trees, an old bookstore tucked beside a diner, a museum that told stories I’d never heard. I left Indiana feeling steadier, like I’d touched something rooted and real—and been better for it.
Whether you’re into scenic drives, local festivals, lake days, or towns where the past and present live side by side, these guides reflect the corners of Indiana that moved me most. If you’re looking for somewhere that welcomes you just as you are, Indiana’s already waiting.
