Three Ways To Explore Southern Indiana, Louisville’s Underrated Neighbor
27.04.2024 - 23:07 / forbes.com
Long renowned for its booming whiskey industry and prowess at horse racing, the city of Louisville serves as a major tourist destination on the northern edge of Kentucky—yet those who venture across the Ohio River will find a truly underrated destination on the southern edge of Indiana. Across the tri-municipality area of Jeffersonville, Clarksville and New Albany, visitors can explore fascinating museums and pristine natural spaces, with no shortage of top-tier bourbon to discover along the way. As you plan your next trip to Derby City, be sure to save some room in the itinerary for a foray into the Hoosier State as well.
While the northern reaches of Indiana are home to the picturesque Indiana Dunes National Park, the southern edge of the state is equipped with its fair share of natural beauty as well. Case in point: Falls of the Ohio State Park, an idyllic preserve that earned protected status in 1990. While the site served as the initial meeting point for the 19th-century Lewis and Clark Expedition, natural history buffs can find a treasure trove of fascinating organisms just steps away from the river’s edge. Hundreds of millions of years ago during the Devonian Period, the surrounding area was covered in a shallow sea, and in the modern era, the exposed rock boasts a massive amount of fascinating fossils, with ancient trilobites, clams, snails and corals all on display.
During a trip to Falls of the Ohio, visiting birdwatchers can marvel at native species like the belted kingfisher, sharp-shinned hawk and bald eagle—yet for those hoping to experience the true splendor of Indiana’s native wildlife, Origin Park is an essential destination. Measuring in at 174 hectares on the southern edge of Clarksville, this sprawling green space is currently undergoing a rapid transformation to allow Indiana’s native flora and fauna to flourish. While small pockets of the park are currently open for public exploration, Kentucky and Indiana residents alike can look forward to the restoration of native woodlands and wetlands, ultimately ushering in a truly remarkable ecotourism destination for all to enjoy.
The riverside city of New Albany was officially founded in 1813, and today, this charming municipality serves as a testament to Southern Indiana’s thriving dining scene, with Outcast Fish & Oyster Bar serving as a particularly enticing spot for fans of both seafood and Atlanta-based hip hop duos. During a visit, guests can sample savory dishes like cheddar bay hush puppies, panko-crusted calamari and andouille sausage-loaded fried rice, while cocktails span from spicy tequila-infused SpottieOttieDopaliscious to the classic OG Old Fashioned—and for those in search of a nightcap after a hearty meal, High Street
