Paddle the Blue River

Even if you missed the Milltown Festival last weekend, there's still time to travel the Blue River as it winds its way through this part of Southern Indiana.  Up until the end of October, Cave Country Canoes is open weekends and offers a series of trips including a seven mile trip which takes two to four hours, a full day trip and a two day trip. 

Sights along the Blue River, Indiana’s first designated Scenic and Natural River, includes blue herons, ducks, turtles and the giant salamanders called hellbenders.

And, of course, be sure to stop at the 3000-foot gift shop for trinkets and t-shirts to take home and the Cave Café for casual dining.
