What to Do:
Hoosier National Forest
Residing in the rolling hills of Southern Indiana, the Hoosier National Forest is the state’s premier forest land and is open year-round for public enjoyment.
The forest in Perry County spans 60,240 acres and includes beautiful lakes, sandy beaches, boat launches, hiking, biking, equestrian trails, kayaking, camping, and much more.
Celtic Cross
Nestled in the hills of Rocky Point, this Celtic Cross is a true masterpiece. Carved by Greg Harris, a local self-taught sculptor, the Celtic Cross is one of the most amazing pieces of art you just have to see for yourself.
It is believed to the largest known ‘in-Situ” (of its own stone) Celtic Cross in the world.
Winzerwald Winery
Located across 85 acres of rolling lands in the Hoosier National Forest in Perry County, Winzerwald Winery celebrates its owner’s German heritage by offering unique German and Swiss-style wines, gifts, festivals, educational tours, and fun.
