For years, people from all over the region have flocked to the retreat centers in Indiana to indulge in the diversity of summer fun to be found at beautiful Lake Wawasee. The lake, located just a little to the southeast of Syracuse, Indiana is the largest natural lake in the state and offers loads of fun activities to suit every taste. This pristine location has long been recognized as a popular summer destination for both young and old. If you haven’t yet discovered this gold mine of pleasure, there are many good reasons why you would want to make sure this picturesque location is on your summer bucket list.
The Oakwood Boat Tour
From the third week of May through the end of September, summer vacationers can have an impressive scenic view of the lake from the water. The tour departs from the Oakwood Pier every evening shortly before sunset. While cruising the lake, you will enjoy the luxury of pure relaxation and catch amazing views of the sunset all while basking in elegant pleasure.

Whether your pleasure is fishing, water skiing, or just getting out there and soaking up the sun, you’ll have a full day of fun and excitement all contained within the privacy of your own pontoon boat. And if surfing is your thing, some pontoons even come equipped with their own wave creation machine so you can surf right in its wake.
Get Your Own Paddleboard
For those who want a little bit of solitude, but still want to enjoy the water, you can set out on your own with a paddleboard. It doesn’t matter if your thing is snorkeling, scuba diving, or fishing, you can make your great escape from the confines of the land with your own paddleboard. Not to mention you could have front row seats for the Independence Day Fireworks as they are displayed right above the waters for an awe-inspiring experience.
