Indiana, known fondly to residents and folks around the United States as ‘The Hoosier State’ (for no particular reason that anyone knows of), is chock-full of gems, be they well-known or hidden. In some places, finding lesser-known natural beauty is a little tougher, but thankfully, here we don’t have that problem. Scattered throughout our lovely state are plenty of places where we can reconnect with nature, many of which aren’t even usually very crowded! If you play your cards right, these beautiful little slices of heaven could be your next away-from-it-all destinations, sans the crowds of more highly-trafficked spots.
