Lake Wawasee

Over 1,000 lakefront houses and condos dot Lake Wawasee's 25 miles of shoreline, Indiana's largest natural lake, and its watery neighbor Lake Syracuse, whose residents enjoy breathtaking views and unrivaled access to the lakes' clean waters. At Lake Wawasee and Lake Syracuse, more than 3,500 acres of pure, freshwater lakes entice visitors who like water sports and adventures. In stunning northern Indiana, you will discover an oasis of amazing leisure options. These lakes offer all the necessities for a great day in the sun and are perfect for any freshwater activity. Both Lake Wawasee and Lake Syracuse have become the Mecca of Indiana's unspoilt natural environment for fans of motor boating, water skiing, sailing, swimming, and fishing.

The "sand bar," which is about 500 yards from the south side of Lake Wawasee, is the ideal location for sunbathers to work on their tans. The two acres of the sand bar, which can only be reached by boat, are in a convenient location and are ideal for cool summer dips and extended naps. Along the beaches of both lakes, there are a great number of parks.

There are numerous methods for locals and guests to enter the lakes' waters. Boaters can use the free public boat ramp on Lake Wawasee's southeast shore or the boat ramps at various nearby marinas on both lakes. Local marinas also offer jet skis, pontoon boats, and fishing boats for rent if you don't own your craft. The two yacht clubs on Lake Wawasee organize a number of regattas that fill the lake with colorful sailboats. The primary canal connects Lake Wawasee and Syracuse Lake, making the transition between them as effortless as the peaceful surfaces of the lakes.
