State Road 162 in the U.S. State of Indiana terminates at both ends at US 231 at Jasper and Gentryville. It passes Ferdinand (near Interstate 64 exit 63), Santa Claus (near Holiday World and Splashin' Safari) and Lincoln City (near Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial).
The highway was designated the William A. Koch Memorial Highway in 2002 following the death of Bill Koch, who, along with his father, Louis J. Koch, was instrumental in creating the Holiday World & Splashin' Safari and the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. He was also the chief developer of the town of Santa Claus, Indiana, which has grown from less than 100 residents in 1960 to over 2,100 today.
