Things to do in Indiana, United States: The Best Bridges
With beaches, boating, and salmon fishing in Michigan City and Gary bordering Lake Michigan, there is more to Indiana than might appear at first glance. The agricultural heartland even has cross country skiing and snowmobiling to go with the Cornball Express. Southwest Indiana near Evansville is renowned for the well-preserved Native American Angel Mounds State Historic Site. The largest city and state capital is famous worldwide for its Indianapolis 500 race. Even locals living in the suburbs often overlook the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, NCAA Hall of Champions, the old Union Station museum cluster, and downtown Canal Walk, to name but a few landmarks. South Bend is synonymous with the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Forested Nashville’s art colony fame dates to the early 1900s when Impressionist Theodore Clement Steele overwintered in The House of the Singing Winds. It is now the T.C. Steele State Historic Site. View paintings and sculpture at the I.M. Pei-designed Indiana University Museum of Art. Attend an IU sports event or an opera, ballet, concert, or theater performance. Treat the family to The Little Nashville Opry or The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Park. For healing mineral springs, head south to Orange County, Indiana’s spa resort center.
Enjoy golf, fishing, boating, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and ice skating in the nation’s agricultural heartland. Monticello and Rensselaer are west of Logansport and north of Lafayette. Take the family on the Cornball Express and Hoosier Hurricane at the Indiana Beach Amusement Resort in Monticello. Play boardwalk carnival games, or let the kids loose on the go-carts. Pile the family into their vehicles for an old-fashioned movie experience at Monticello’s Lake Shore Drive-In. Indulge in a weekend dinner boat cruise to hot band sounds as the Madam Carroll plies Lake Freeman.

Hunting covered bridges in Parke County Indiana was a great adventure. We had the best time traveling on the dirt/gravel road searching for covered bridges. We were able to locate all 31 bridges. Great vacation!!

This 245-foot bridge is probably the most-photographed covered bridge in the Midwest.

This mill still runs. Its usually open and you can buy goods there that were made from the mill. There are old fashioned goods for purchase there and neat items to see there. The owner/operator is very knowledgeable and loves to share stories and the knowledge he has and answer questions. There is a lookout window there and you can get perfect view of the small waterfall and covered bridge from there. This has been kept as preserved as possible. The bridge was sadly a case of arson but the community rebuilt it to look like the original but you can not drive across it, walking only. This is a must place to visit. A Beautiful spot for photo shoots or just to get Beautiful shots of history and nature.

We found this by chance while driving to another destination. It is a great example of lost engineering and architecture. The drive is definitely worth the time. There was a person there who has helped care for, advertise, support and explain the history of the bridge. He was very informative and even showed us how to get down under the bridge. NOTE: Only do this when the river is low. Otherwise it could be dangerous. He also mentioned other places to visit including an old brick factory in Medora. While abandoned and run down, it is also worth the time to take a quick look. There is a small parking/picnic area on the west side with boat ramp river access.
