Water, water everywhere, so this is Lake Wawasee

By LESLIE WHITMAN Water. That is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Lake Wawasee. Lots and lots of beautiful, blue water. But. the more I think about Lake Wawasee, many other things come to mind — the people who live on the Hake, the boats riding on the waves, the kids playing on the shoreline, the fishermen out trying to catch a few, the sunbathers out to get a beautiful tan, the skiers out to have some fun and above all else, the natural beauty and splendor of Indiana’s largest natural lake. Os course, coming from a big city like Indianapolis, anything larger than the size of a swimming pool is bound to amaze me, and Lake Wawasee does. Starting out far my big tour of the lake, I turn off of SR 13 at the new stoplight at the Dairy Queen and drive past some houses and assorted bait selling establishments. Thinking I might have gone the wrong way. all of a sudden I see a bit of blue water peeking out at me. the lake! All I could think of with my first look at the lake was where was the other side? I thought I could make out a very distant shoreline, but even that I wasn’t sure of. After putting on my sunglasses and squinting my eyes tighter. I could just make out a few objects that looked like trees and houses. No wonder they call it Indiana's largest natural lake. Continuing around the lake, I find I am looking at more houses than water. Then I remember someone telling me the lake is all privately owned. I’m just glad I get to lode at it every now and then. Some of the; houses are worth looking at however I had originally thought mostly cottages were situated on lakes, but looking at some of these houses, one definitely couldn’t call them cottages! Os course, I really didn't see anything until I came to Eli Lilly’s estates. His estate is definitely amazing. It’s just a shame he is no longer here to enjoy it and the lake. After a brief tour of Ogden Island, I go away from the lake a bit and take a look at the old Wawasee Prep School, golf course and Wawasee Airport. 1 feel kind of sad looking at the school. Just some empty windows staring out at some beautiful scenery with no one there to enjoy it. I then travel past some farms and railroad tracks not seeing the lake for awhile. But, after getting lost a bit. I find myself gazing at it again Now I can see a few boats on the lake just kind of New Paris Speedway - SATURDAY - Lute Models 50 Lap Feetere Hobby Stocks Rtited Ronners FIKH RACE 7:45 10tl Cars Quolifi«d lost Wook End SpeicW AttrectieM 'FredSbhys Jes Are Dragster

lazily sitting and drifting with the waves Thinking how nice it must be, so peaceful and quiet, all of a sudden-whoosh!! Along comes a speed boat towing a water skier along in its wake. Oh well, that looks kind of nice too. Now I go past some condominiums and a marina or two. And. of course the fish hatchery, where I stop to admire the beautiful lay out. Even here where the lake has become a bit more commercialized. I can still sense the natural beauty which could never be erased. The part of the lake which says, “you can ride all over me and take some of my fish away, but you can't destroy the real me."

Philosophizing behind, I continue my tour around the lake. I gaze at mere houses, a few trailers here and there and even a cottage or two. 1 also peek at some of the assorted channels running in and around the lake. Then, before I know it, I come to SR 13 again. Turning right to go back to Syracuse, all I can think of is, “so this is Lake Wawasee. Not bad, not bad at all. Now if I can just find some nice young man to take me on a personal moonlit tour of the lake.” Dream on. But, just in case, I have my swimming suit and romantic serenade music all set to go.
