There’s more to scenic Southern Indiana than what meets the eye. Adventure lovers can canoe down Blue River located in the heart of cave country and enjoy a quick rest or a picnic lunch along the public gravel bars and beach areas, and look out for the abundant wildlife including turtles, eagles, otters and more. Half day, full day and even two-day canoeing trips are available for all skill levels and abilities. Below the rolling hills, majestic forests and winding Blue River lies a secretive network of caverns and caves just waiting to be explored.
