Sunset at Patoka Lake.

I’m really excited to interview Brandy Ream of Visit French Lick West Baden about French Lick, Indiana. Brandy’s tips for the best things to do in French Lick are awesome because she was born and raised nearby and moved away after college to run marketing for ski resorts. She moved back to the city in 2020 to promote this area and its amazing attractions.
