What to do and see in Indiana, United States: The Best Scenic Walking Areas
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.

We love it here...all seasons. The walk is beautiful...about 2 1/2 miles but you can do a lot less. Many times we see deer, makes the day. The bridges are great although we rarely see anything in the water. The area in the front with wood walkways is very well done...structures of stone are beautiful and there is a very peaceful feeling being there. Go, explore for yourself and pick the parts you like best. Pleasant people doing the same thing you are. Lots of dogs.

I highly recommend the Mishawaka River Walk. I live close to Merrifield Park and use the river walk regularly to walk or ride my bike. They also have an outdoor fitness center on the route in Battell Park. Mishawaka has such great parks and 5 of them are connected by the river walk (Merrifield, Central, Battell, Beutter and Kamm’s Island). It’s always clean and well lit. Mishawaka does a great job of hosting events like summer concerts, festivals and even a farmers market on Sundays which are all accessible from the river walk. It’s a great place to be!

Love our lakefront. It has a nice walking path through the valley up to the beach. There is also the river walk path that goes along Burns ditch that leads out into the lake.

In the early evening there is a beautiful walk around river just south of Colfax bridge. The river is illuminated in a variety of colors and the effect is very impressive.

6. Marion's Mississinewa Riverwalk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
Reviewed By LelandPvacationing19 - Marion, United States
We have walked the Marion Mississinewa River walk and it never disappoints. The scenery keeps changing as the river winds towards the Wabash. Even when the path veers off from the river, I still feel close to the water while walking through woods. The last mile or so is in the beautiful Matter Park. Built in the 1890's, I can visualize the days when there was a small passenger steam boat offering rides during the Summer. Leland P Gamson
