Summer family fun in Indiana's Cool North bursts with excitement. Families can splash in lake waters, explore sandy beaches, and hike through scenic trails. Museums, farms and waterparks and splash pads add to the vibrant atmosphere. Whether kayaking, biking, or simply enjoying picnics in lush parks, unforgettable memories are made under the summer sun.

Kouts - Classic Midwest Charm

 

 

Kouts is a quintessential Midwestern farming town with friendly locals and scenic fields. Enjoy summer festivals like the Aukiki River Festival and Kouts Pork Fest, or visit Birky’s Market for ice cream. Outdoor adventures include kayaking along the Kankakee River and exploring historic Dunn’s Bridge, where local lore suggests—true or not!—that its arches came from the first Ferris wheel at Chicago’s 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition.
