Living in the Lafayette area for over 25 years, I can tell you that if you like water sports, trail walking, or just being at peace and feeling like you are one with nature, there are a multitude of activites available to you in this area. The Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers both offer extensive trail systems as well as opportunities for canoeing, kayacking, and fishing. There are many historical sites that go hand in hand with the city, for example the Tippecanoe Battlefield in Battle Ground, IN. There are many festivals throughout the year offering up something for everyone--the Covered Bridge festival is within an hour's drive and is a much-loved week-long celebration located in Parke county. Warren and Fountain counties-both also within an hour of Lafayette, offer amazing cliffs with little babbling brooks to larger waterfalls. Rock climbing, horseback riding, camping and canoeing await you at Turkey Run State park and nearby Shades State park. I have barely scratched the surface of the endless recreational opportunities that can be found in Tippecanoe county and the area counties surrounding Lafayette, Indiana. Come and enjoy a place where folks still wave and smile at a passing stranger as well as a long-time neighbor or friend!
