Let’s go for a ride or walk along the Monon South, stopping in 6 small towns along the trail. We’ll get breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, and plenty of activity along the way! And best of all, you’ll be close to several state parks, so consider adding in these communities to your visit to Spring Mill State Park, Deam Lake, or Patoka Lake!
Below are events or places I visited and recommended. There are even more restaurants and shops mentioned in the episode!
Borden:
-Norma Jean’s Ice Cream (didn’t eat anything but stopped by)
Pekin:

-El Maguey (didn’t eat here but wanted to!)
