(Oh, and there’s a casino there if you’d like to test your luck, as well.)

Jasper-Area Adventure #3: Jug Rock

Address: 2450 N Jasper-Dubois Rd, Jasper, IN 47546

Jug Rock is a large sandstone rock formation that’s believed to have been created by glaciers during the Ice Age. The rock gets its name from the fact that it looks like a jug or pitcher. It’s a popular spot for hiking and picnicking.
