The Overlook Restaurant
    Leavenworth, IN
    1153 W. State Road, 62
    
    Now, this one is a bit of a road trip — it's about an hour away from Louisville. But if you happen to be hiking in Hoosier National Forest or O’Bannon State Park and you feel like grabbing a bite, head to The Overlook Restaurant. Of all the restaurants in this list, it may have the best view: it sits on a huge hill overlooking the Ohio River.

Best Riverside Restaurant
    Cunningham’s Creekside
     6301 River Road
    
    It’s no shock that Louisville, aka River City, has plenty of riverside restaurants to choose from. And they’re all great, don’t get me wrong, but Cunningham’s Creekside does it best. First of all, the drive there is half the fun. If you’re coming from downtown, you get to soak in the view of the Ohio River from the long ride down River Road. Now, many of you might be screaming at your paper, “What about Captain’s Quarters!” Sorry, folks, not my scene. I’m settling down on the porch at Cunningham’s and watching wildlife, kayaks, paddleboarders, and the occasional boat make its way down Harrods Creek towards the Ohio. And best of all, the fried fish is top-notch. You just can’t beat it. And the coleslaw! *Chef’s kiss.* It’s a fantastic place to wind down after a long day. Or you could check it out after paddling with nearby Nachand Canoe & Kayak. —Ethan Smith
