Tippecanoe River State Park

Of course the river is the big attraction at Tippecanoe, especially for canoers and kayakers; you will need to bring your own equipment or make arrangements with local liveries. The trails are another popular attraction. There are 23 miles of trails, 9 miles of which are for hiking only, and 14 miles of which are a combination of hiking/horse trails. All are rated as easy to moderate.

Indiana Beach Amusement & Water Park

The entertainment is almost endless at Indiana Beach Amusement Resort, where you’re surrounded by an amusement park, a waterpark, and the fish-filled waters of Lake Shafer. Ride the white-knuckle roller coasters at the amusement park, make a splash at Indiana Beach Waterpark, or engage in aquatic adventures at Lake Shafer, which include fishing, swimming, or just lounging on the beach.
