This city is surrounded by the rolling hills and wooded forests of southern Indiana. Experience the great outdoors by taking a stroll through wooded areas and past farmland on the Jasper Riverwalk. This 2.1-mile trail winds along the Patoka River. There is also a park/plaza area which features a gazebo, grill, playgrounds, boat access and more. After a day on the trail or at the park, you can relax and unwind at one of our Jasper hotels. Jasper has a rich German heritage, and each year the city hosts Jasper Strassenfest, a festival with a parade, food, entertainment, sports and games, and a beer garden. The event draws around 35,000 people annually. To learn more about the German settlers who came to the area in the 1800s, visit the Dubois County Museum. At the museum, you can experience the rural life of the late 19th and early 20th centuries through artifacts, exhibits and a restored two-pen log house built by German immigrants. Sports fans will want to make a stop at the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame. This museum displays memorabilia from high school, collegiate and pro baseball players who have ties to the Hoosier State.
Those who are traveling for a family vacation may want to head to the nearby city of Santa Claus to visit Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari. This combination theme park and water park is known for its three wooden rollercoasters and the world’s two longest water coasters. Book a room at one of the Choice Hotels in Jasper to enjoy convenient and affordable accommodations for your trip.
