I swear this place stole Papa Johns' recipe; complete with garlic-butter dipping sauce.. Try a cheese pizza blind taste-test. Decent pizza that is less expensive than Papa's (but more expensive than Papa John's).

Ledbetter sighting!
Search "Culver Ledbetter". It is a three mast ship you occasionally spot circling the lake or dry docked by the Culver rowing facility. There are also (at least) annual performances of the Culver Academy band or summer camp band on the boat as it tours.

Culver Horse Troop
One of the most famous horse troops in America (if there is such a thing). The Culver horse troop has performed at 17 US Presidential inaugurations since 1913. You can usually see them in their field next to the football field, or in their impeccable brick pavilion in their stalls.

A short, nice woods walking/riding path
A path that my kids love to ride through... if you can find it. It is a short jaunt through the woods. The start is at 41.196729, -86.386016 (good luck).

Lakeside path
From the public beach go East through the woods on nicely cleared paths that take you to the Academy where you can walk along the lake on sidewalks.

Kids turtle hunting
If you can find your way onto a boat or floating device, kids love turtle catching (which they put back) in the inlets near the marina. Check out... 41.183666, -86.391118

Notre Dame football practice
The Fighting Irish spend their first week of the preseason each year practicing on the Culver Academy football field. You can sneak a peak of their private practice. Just don't park your car nearby or fly a drone overhead.
