This rest area is a most welcome stop north of Indiana. It is a rather large facility with not only rest rooms, but vending machines, a welcome center (complete with helpful staff and many brochures and maps of the area), and large picnic and hiking areas (one of which contains a geocache.)
It also features a Compass Rose in the sidewalk approach to the rest area itself.
Stop, have lunch, enjoy the caching and hiking, pick up two waymarks at once, and get a LOT of information about the surrounding area.
Hours of Operation:
Hours: Open year round 9-5. During summer travel season these hours will be extended to meet demands of the season. Restroom facilities will be open 24 hours a day.


Public Washrooms: Mens and Womens Only

Snacks/Drinks at the facility: Yes - Vending Only
