Indiana's largest natural lake. A Lightning-class yacht club since 1935.
Lake Wawasee is Indiana's largest natural lake, a Kosciusko County glacial lake ringed by second homes and the private Wawasee Yacht Club, racing Lightning-class sailboats since 1935 with early backing from Eli Lilly.
Lake Wawasee sits in Kosciusko County, the largest natural lake in Indiana, with the town of Syracuse on its north shore. The commercial core runs along Huntington and Pickwick — a coffee shop, a boat-in restaurant on the channel to Syracuse Lake, and the flagship dining room at Oakwood Resort. The Wawasee Yacht Club has raced one-design sailboats here since 1935, old-money Indiana rather than a resort-town crowd, still hosting national-caliber regattas today.
