St. Croix offers quiet country living with big-outdoor energy, set just off the I‑64 corridor for easy trips to Perry County employers and regional hubs. Residents lean into the landscape here: miles of hardwood forest, clear lakes, and trailheads make weekend plans simple and spontaneous.
Adventure starts in the surrounding Hoosier National Forest, where hikers, horseback riders, and hunters spread out across rolling ridges. Families love the swim beach, boat rentals, and shaded picnic spots at the nearby Tipsaw Lake Recreation Area, while the sandstone canyons and seasonal waterfalls of Hemlock Cliffs deliver a rewarding day hike. Bigger water awaits at Patoka Lake—a favorite for fishing, paddling, and quiet coves. For a dose of history and sacred architecture, the serene grounds of St. Meinrad Archabbey are an easy drive, and family thrills are close at Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari. Daily essentials, healthcare, and dining are within reach in Tell City and up the road in Jasper.
Local students attend the well-regarded Perry Central Community School Corporation, known for tight-knit classrooms, strong athletics, and hands-on career pathways.
