Get out of the Big City for the Day with a Spring Break Road Trip
Various Locations
Get over the cabin fever of winter with a day trip. If you are able to snag some time off for Spring Break, pack up the car for a road trip somewhere in the state that you haven’t been to yet. We love to visit the State Parks for hiking. We always bring along a picnic lunch and snacks to enjoy along the way. If you would rather visit a small town, Nashville, Shipshewana, and Madison all have fantastic walkable downtown areas filled with shops, bakeries, ice cream shops, restaurants, boutiques, and more!

Get decked out in all of your green gear and partake of a green beer or two.
