Central Indiana forms a crescent shape around the Indianapolis Metro area, buffering the state’s capitol. Dip your paddle in the calm, smooth waters of Sugar Creek as it flows under the covered bridges of Parke County. Experience what it was like to live on a Hoosier farm more than a century ago at The Farm at Prophetstown, follow both the Cardinal Wine and Indy wine trails, trace the history of the esteemed Native American Chief Tecumseh and his brother, known as the Prophet, at Prophetstown and taste the house made root beer at Triple XXX Family Restaurant, a Lafyette favorite since the 1920s. There’s serious shopping for vintage lovers along the two Antique Trails in Wayne County. Food lovers can choose among that 21 Culinary Trails—the most in any state according to the Wall Street Journal—curated by the Indiana Foodways Alliance. Among the favorites are the Hoosier Pie and Tenderloin trails. It’s all in Central Indiana and even more.
