Information: Lake Wawasee has a long history extending from the Pleistocene epoch, early settlement by the white man, and its growth from the 1800s through today. The lake is named for Miami chief Wawasee (Wau-wuh-see), brother of Miami chief Papakeecha, which translated means "Flat Belly." Lake Wawasee has a history of being a summer vacation area for residents from Indianapolis and Chicago. The Spink's Hotel (now condominiums) overlooking Lake Wawasee was a luxury hotel that hosted famous vacationers including Al Capone. Eli Lilly maintained residence on Lake Wawasee that still today is a landmark on the lake.

  • Miscellaneous Info
Lake Wawasee is routinely patrolled by conservation officers. To fully enjoy your visit (and avoid a hefty fine), observe the following tips: A life vest is required for each person in the boat. No boating is allowed in designated swimming areas. The lake permimeter is marked with buoys located about 200 feet from shore to designate a swimming area, which extends from the shoreline to the buoys. When operating a motor boat in the designated swimming area, you must idle directly to the shore or to the buoys; do not operate the boat parallel to the shore in a swimming areas (this does not apply to fishing boats using trolling motors). Channel waterways are ""no wake"" zones. Sailboats have the right-of-way over power boats. Running lights are required between sunset and sunrise. Maximum speed from sunset to sunrise is 10 mph. To operate a personal watercraft (jet ski), you must have a driver's license. Boats with ""heads"" should use the free public boat waste disposal facility on the southeast end of Lake Wawasee.
