Have It (F)all at French Lick

Fall break will be calling soon. 

Lucky for you, French Lick Resort has plenty of answers. 

Whether you’ve yet to explore French Lick — or if you’re already well-acquainted with this peaceful and luxurious oasis in southern Indiana — this is the perfect destination for a stress-free fall break with the whole family. Relax for a few days at one of their three hotels (French Lick Springs Hotel, West Baden Springs Hotel and Valley Tower Hotel), then get out and choose your own adventure.

A Classic Fall Experience 

For starters, be sure to hit the Hayride, S’mores and Pumpkin Patch adventure up at The Stables at French Lick. It’s all the best parts of fall, bundled into one. The kids will eat it up. And it’ll bring back childhood memories for the grown-up kids at heart. Plan a weekend around it – it goes every Thursday and Saturday during October.

Explore More of the Great Outdoors 

If your timing’s right, you can see the changing canvas of warm fall colors in the Hoosier National Forest. Enjoy the foliage on a horseback ride through the woods, a hike on the resort’s 12-mile trail system, a surrey cart ride, or even a horse-drawn carriage ride in the evening. 

Adventure-seekers will love the archery range (ages 5 and up) and sporting clays range (ages 13 and up). And don’t forget your swim gear, too. If summer’s warmth hangs on, you can visit the resort’s outdoor pools which are open well into October, and the water’s always just right at the indoor pools.
