If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got a couple of suggestions. Sitting 19 miles away, Elkhart is worth getting in the car for. See the best sights beginning with Concord Mall, The Lerner and Wellfield Botanic Gardens. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Syracuse, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Lake Wawasee. (But we’re also huge fans of Wawasee Golf Club and Maxwelton Golf Club.)
