Hike Through Indiana's Versailles State Park, Then Dine At Crossroads Family Restaurant
If you like to hike and dine, the Indiana town of Versailles is a good pick. Versailles State Park includes a 230-acre lake created by a dam across Laughery Creek and offers seven trails, including some that are designed for horses and mountain bikes, and can be shared with hikers. The 2.9-mile South Loop Trail is moderately challenging and takes about an hour, making it a nice complement to Crossroads Family Restaurant, about a mile from the park.
Choose your strategy: Fuel up for a hike with a hearty breakfast or reward yourself with country-style cooking. Either way, the combination can create one of those classic Midwest experiences. Hoosiers know this; Versailles is pronounced: “Ver-SAYLES.” In any case, Versailles is located at the junction of U.S. Highways 50 and 421. That’s how Crossroads Family Restaurant got its name in 2000 when the owners remodeled a home originally assembled from a kit by Civilian Conservation Corps workers.
