Top Reasons to Go to Indiana

Catch the Adrenaline:The Indy 500 isn’t the only game in town. Cheer from the stands at an Indiana Pacers game or check out a Purdue University men’s-basketball game. Football is serious business at the University of Notre Dame.

Bask on a Beach: Hugging the tip of Lake Michigan, 40 miles outside of Chicago, Indiana Dunes Lakeshore Park is a serene retreat. Other beaches are in southern Indiana along the Ohio River.

Celebrate Craft Beer: The Hoosier State is known for its craft beers, including Carson’s Brewery in Evansville and Sun King Brewing in Indianapolis.

Traipse through Nature: About three-quarters of the state is farmland or nature. Don’t forget to pack hiking boots and a camera to capture the beauty.
