Southern Indiana Ride Offers Gambling, Hiking and German Cuisine

Whether it is your first ride of the spring or your last ride of the fall, scenic southern Indiana provides a thrilling ride through great Indiana scenery. Check out this southern Indiana ride and make stops at the newly-restored, historic French Lick Resort Casino and West Baden Springs Hotel. On your way up or down 37, take a ride through Spring Mill State Park off State Road 60. Check out the twin caves or hike the many trails.

From Bedford, this ride takes just under three hours and if you want to extend it, continue south on 231. Stop in Jasper for dinner at the Schnitzelbank. It will add about a half hour to your ride, but it’s worth it for the authentic German dinner.
