Indiana Great Escape: French Lick and Patoka Lake

Courtney Budelman takes us around French Lick and Patoka Lake in Indiana, the perfect place for a weekend getaway.

School may have started, but summer is not over just yet! If you are looking to soak up the beautiful weather before fall, there is a place close enough for a weekend getaway but far enough to feel like you’ve actually gotten away. What is this place? French Lick Indiana.

Most people know French Lick for its two beautiful historic resorts, but Courtney got to look at some of the other fun things to do and visit there.

The water is still perfect at Patoka Lake in Southern Indiana, and with about 9,000 square acres, there’s a lot to experience. The lake has wonderful wildlife which you can experience on the Wednesday Wildlife Cruises out of the marina, and you can even keep cruising into the fall.

Want even more time on the water? You can sleep on it in a house boat! Floating cabins that are docked are also available.

Just a 15 minute drive or a short boat ride from the marina is beautiful, historic French Lick Resort. You can also visit the rustic elegance of Patoka Lake Winery and even sleep in one of their suites.

Patoka Lake is very family oriented, and there is something for everyone to do.
