Welcome to Montgomery County, Indiana, a community proud of its rich history, active outdoors life, wonderful dining options and great events. We are Uniquely MoCo!  Located just 45 minutes outside of Indianapolis, the region offers a wide variety of activities to suit the entire family.

For adventure enthusiasts, you can enjoy more than 30 miles of scenic waterways by either tube, canoe or kayak.  Perhaps try your hand at catching a trophy small-mouth bass on our own Sugar Creek.  If flying through beautiful Montgomery County scenery sounds up your alley, try Indiana Zipline Tours, which has over eight lines ranging from 150’ to 2000’. Or, lace up your hiking boots and hit the trail at Shades State Park. If hitting the links tickles your fancy, visit the newly renovated Crawfordsville Municipal Golf Course or the Rocky Ridge Golf Club, both excellent options for a round of 18.
