As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

So, how cool is this: Indiana is home to 86 sparkling, stunning lakes, all of which make for excellent day trips, weekend outings, or even whole vacations. One of my favorite things to do is explore each and every one of them; each has its own personality and overall vibe, and no one lake is like any of the others. Take, for example, Patoka Lake; it’s not overly enormous, at just 13.75 square miles, but it’s jam-packed with adventure and is an excellent option for a wonderful weekend away. Plus, I’ve found the perfect little cabin almost right on the lake to enjoy it from.

Welcome to beautiful, sparkly Patoka Lake: a testament to the photogenic nature of Indiana's countryside.

Like I said, it's not overly huge, but it's not teeny-tiny either; it's the perfect size for water sports and other outdoor shenanigans that folks have come to love from the area.
