Indiana Beach on Lake Shafer

We are heading a little farther north avoiding major rain storms.  We had a big storm last night in North Salem with lots of rain and lightening.  We were thankful to be safe off the road.
This morning we headed to Monticello and the Indiana Beach RV Resort.  I used to come to Lake Shafer as a child with my family and I think we brought the kids here one time while we lived in Crown Point.  This place has changed so much that I hardly recognized it.  They seem to be trying to make improvements, but it reminds me of a place of "days gone by".  
The glory days have faded.
It is a very large campground with lots to do close by for people with kids and many people seem to live here for the season.


It's very green, but also pretty wet.  It's a large campground.





We took a drive to see the area since it had been so long since I was here.


This is called the Twin Lakes Area.  Both Lake Shafer and Lake Freeman are made from the Tippecanoe River.



 We went for a walk past the water slide, pool and mini golf coarse. And then just a short walk across the road down to Indiana Beach.





The below picture is Lake Shafer.  The beach and lake pool were closed due to all of the high murky water from the rains.




They had some old photos that I took pictures of.  This is more how I remember Indiana Beach.



We will stay here until Tuesday morning and then head farther north to hopefully get a window seal fixed on the motorhome and then spend time with family and friends for a month.

Hope your day was sunny!

Blessings,
Kathy
