11 Best Places In Indiana You Must Visit

With its shores on Lake Michigan, Indiana is a great place to visit on a road trip to the United States. You see, it’s got a little something for everyone, plus it’s huge. Best of all, there are heaps of the best places in Indiana to visit dotted all across the state. This means that you’ll see a fair few gems, even if you’re not driving the northern shoreline.

Of course, you’ve got great cities to visit, like Indianapolis or Fort Wayne, but you’ve also got totally beautiful places in the great outdoors of Indiana. This means you can visit Indiana’s cities but easily dip into places like the Indiana Dunes National Park and so many more. 

So, to get the most out of your trip to Indiana, I’m sharing my favourite places you don’t want to miss. You’re going to have an amazing time exploring Indiana. Have fun. 

1.)  Cataract Falls

It may not be one of the tallest waterfalls in Indiana, that accolade goes to Williamsport Falls, but Cataract Falls and the wider state park is stunning to visit. 

Now, you can easily reach Cataract Falls by car, and there’s parking next to the falls itself. This makes it a great stopping point whilst exploring some of the best places in Indiana to visit. In my opinion, taking a small trip to the upper falls is so worth it, especially if you fancy a break from driving. 

Once here, you can explore Little Sisters Falls, Upper Cataract Falls and visit Lower Cataract Falls. The falls themselves aren’t the highest, but the trails are stunning here.

2.) Indianapolis

Easily the most visited city in Indiana, Indianapolis is the perfect place to visit if you’re looking for a city break while travelling the state. You can easily spend two nights here, and you’ll get a good taste of the city and see heaps of the sights. 

Once here, make sure to visit the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indian and Western Art. This Museum is located at the entrance to White River State Park and is so easy to visit. Plus, it has many collections of artwork, mostly assembled by Harrison Eiteljorg. 

Afterwards, head over to the world-famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It’s a great place to visit or see the races if you time it well. Now, they are doing some work on the museum (so double-check that it’s open when you plan to visit), but going for the track tour is worthwhile.
