Pack your hiking shoes and a sense of adventure because when in Bedford, you have to visit Blue Spring Caverns. Tour guides will pilot custom tour boats along the course of a subterranean river for over a mile in this popular attraction. They’ll point out crayfish and rare blind fish in their natural habitat as they bring you up to speed on the natural forces that are constantly going to create caverns below the rolling hills. The Spring Mill State Park is the second most visited state park in Indiana. It is home to the Pioneer Village, hiking trails, paddle-boat rentals, a nature center and more. Pioneer Village is a reconstructed village that is as close a replica as you can get to what settlers built when they acquired the area in 1831. Lake Monroe is also a great getaway within this city. It is the largest inland body of water in Indiana where you can boat, fish, swim and more.
There are also theatres if you seek the city’s art culture or you can learn more about the city at the Lawrence County Museum of History. There are exhibits on limestone, Civil War guns and uniforms and a replica of the Spring Mill gristmill. After a long day, kick your feet up at Carousel Winery surrounded by six acres of land and picnic tables so you can enjoy a bottle of local wine and some delicious food.
From wine tasting to cavern touring, there is so much to do that is unique to Bedford. When you start planning your trip to this interesting city, book with Choice Hotels in Bedford, IN for a memorable getaway.
