CRUISING THE COVERED BRIDGE CAPITAL

If you've ever been to Indiana in fall, there's no denying that it's a special time of year. As leaves turn the Midwest landscape into marvelous shades of ocher, rust, and emerald green, Indiana's Parke County comes alive. Nestled in the heart of the Hoosier State, Parke County's tranquil rivers and waterways are flanked by looming ancient trees and rolling pastures, and the quaint towns that dot the landscape are as charming as ever. While this region is a nature lover's paradise, it is also a portal to the past. In fact, Parke County is known as the covered bridge capital of the world, boasting a collection of 31 meticulously preserved covered bridges, each brimming with stories of the region's history.
