Travelers Say This is the Best Public Bathroom in Indiana

One public restroom is getting some national love, and you might be surprised where it is.

Public restrooms are very hit or miss. Most of the time, you walk into a public restroom and you feel like you need to wear a hazmat suit with how disgusting it is. Every now and then, you'll walk into a public restroom and you'll be surprised by how clean it is. Let's be honest though, those restrooms are few and far between. The majority of the time you go into a public restroom, you will find disgusting things everywhere you look, like clogged and unflushed toilets, no toilet paper, and, to top it all off, no soap to wash your hands. There's not much that is flattering about most public restrooms.

That being said, not every public restroom is created equally. For every 30 or 40 bad public restrooms out there, there's one that is actually pretty nice. I made that ratio up, but you get the point. There are more nasty public restrooms than good ones. So when you hear about one that's actually nice, clean, and is said to be the best in the state, naturally, you're curious.

The Best Public Restroom in Indiana

Recently national survey from American River Wellness found the best public restroom in each state. Now, these aren’t your average roadside stops. We're talking about well-maintained, traveler-approved rest areas that go beyond the basics with clean facilities, thoughtful design, and a surprisingly pleasant experience, as voted on by the travelers themselves.

When it comes to the best public restroom in Indiana, look no further than the Greenfield Rest Area along I-70, just east of Indianapolis. The facility features:

• Truck and Passenger Vehicle Parking
• 84 Car and 101 Truck Spaces
• Restrooms
• Family Restrooms
• Vending Machines
• Picnic Area

This looks like your average Indiana rest area to me. Nothing fancy to see here. It’s worth noting that the new survey limited its respondents to “3,017 drivers,” meaning the “best public restroom” claim could be a bit misleading. The results were understandably highway-centric. So, while there might be nicer and more appealing-looking restrooms in Indiana, this rest area isn't a bad option when nature calls.
