Riverboats might be a term that reminds you of the south, but Indiana actually has its fair share of historic riverboats that you can still climb aboard. One incredible riverboat you’ve likely never heard of is a true Indiana treasure – and you’ll want to book a cruise this summer.
The Dixie Sternwheeler is Indiana's oldest sternwheel riverboat. Located along Webster Lake, this classic riverboat still offers Hoosiers unforgettable rides around the lake.
In fact, the Dixie is such an important piece of Indiana's history that is has been claimed as a National Historic Place.
