Every year, it's a beacon of summertime fun, beckoning visitors with the promise of fun in the sun, roller coaster, festival food, and, of course, lots of water to cool off in.
It's positioned perfectly right on beautiful, blue Lake Shafer, which is a comfortable level of "chilly" all summer long.

We're pretty sure they couldn't have chosen a better lake for this park; really, everything about Indiana Beach is exceptional, from the friendly faces to the deliciously-bad-for-you food to the rides and games and everything in between.
There's so much to do crammed into this little space that you'll probably need to take more than one day to do it all, making Indiana Beach the perfect weekend and/or vacation spot for you and yours.

On the water park side of things, there are boat rides, a lazy river, waterslides, a kid-friendly splash pad, a beach pier pool, and lots more. Bring towels and lots of sunscreen; nothing ruins a day on the lake more than a gnarly sunburn.
