Indiana's second-largest reservoir. Houseboat country ten miles south of French Lick.
Patoka Lake is Indiana's second-largest reservoir, 8,800 acres in the hills of Dubois and Orange counties, with two marinas running houseboats, floating cabins, and double-decker pontoons ten miles south of the French Lick Resort.
Patoka Lake sits in the hills of southern Indiana, its 8,800 acres almost entirely inside the state park's recreation-area system. Hoosier Hills Marina holds the west side, with The Idle Zone as its restaurant and bar; Patoka Lake Marina & Lodging at Newton-Stewart holds the east side, its Floating Store the hub for houseboat check-ins and lake-day provisions. French Lick and West Baden Springs, home to the historic French Lick Resort, sit ten miles north with the area's real restaurant density and grocery options.
