June 9-10, 2012
Welcome to the official website for the Northern Indiana Lakes Festival! The Lakes Festival is a celebration of one of our area's most precious natural resources - water! The Lakes Festival increases awareness of and appreciation for our lakes through education, experience, fun and celebration.
Thanks to everyone that made the 2011 Northern Indiana Lakes Festival a great success! The attendance was larger than ever and with great participation in the educational activities. Highlights included a ski show by the Lake City Skiers, canoeing, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding around Center Lake and the inaugural Water Waddle Kid's Fun Run.
