The finest hunting in the state of Indiana is in Switzerland County. Also, the Ohio River is a popular spot for fishing, water sports and boating.
If golf is your game, try Vineyard Golf located in Quercus Grove. This is a wonderful, challenging, well-maintained 18-hole course. Or tee off at Belterra’s brand new 18-hole championship, Tom Fazio designed course. It’s a winner!
