A section of the Lincoln Highway

The 1.5-mile “Ideal Section” of the Lincoln Highway near Schererville was completed in 1923 as a model of road construction. Road building is therefore a specific cultural and historical highlight, not just the name of a well-known highway. If you’re interested in transportation routes and their construction history, you can make this section a focus of your visit.

Recreation in Schererville

Up Your Alley in Schererville offers bowling and cyber sports, as well as axe throwing and arcade games. Since commercial offerings can change, check what’s currently available before your visit. The Schererville Skate Park is managed and supervised by the Town Department of Parks and Recreation; the rules of use apply to residents and citizens. If you plan to visit the skate park, take these rules into account.

Trails in Rohrman Park and Teibel Nature Preserve

Rohrman Park has a one-mile paved path; the Pennsy Greenway passes by the park. Teibel Nature Preserve has hiking and walking trails. The difference is easy to sum up when choosing by trail type: Rohrman Park offers pavement and a specific path length, while Teibel Nature Preserve has hiking and walking trails. This can help you decide which kind of trail you’d like to prioritize.
