What you are reading: Things to Do in French Lick, Indiana This Weekend
Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
Previously known as Salt Spring, French Lick, Indiana was originally a small French trading post near a natural salty spring. Around 1845 French Lick became a popular wellness destination due to the mineral springs which bubbled naturally to the surface and promised all manner of health benefits. Two hotels sprang up to accommodate visitors and a golf course followed in the early 1900’s. Today you can still check in to one of the two historic hotels on your weekend getaway. Besides enjoying all the activities at the resort, visitors can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities in the Hoosier Forest, including hiking and zip-lining in summer and skiing, snowboarding and tubing in winter.
