howard county, IN
Indiana, jewel of the Midwest, offers something for everyone, from the bustling capital of Indianapolis to stretches of forests, welcoming parks, and awe-inspiring lakes. Indy, the seat of Marion County is right on the White River’s West Fork, close to the confluence with Fall Creek, so there’s no surprise that this area is very popular with all types of boating enthusiasts.
Indiana is also home to some of the most breathtaking national parks in the country—and probably the world. The Indiana Dunes Park on Lake Michigan, for example, offers the rare chance to see roaming bison; a must for any nature lover. There are around 15 miles of shoreline here that provide access to some of the best boating waters for sailing, fishing, swimming, or just immersing yourself in nature.
When you own your own boat, you get unlimited access to the waters of the Hoosier State. Take your water sports gear with you and enjoy some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Lake Lemon against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush trees.

Or discover hidden gems like the donut shop at Lake James, beloved by locals and visitors.
