Many fellow trailer sailors on this board drop me e-mails asking for recommendations on some local watering holes. A lot of times Indiana lakes can be great getaways because of horsepower restrictions and no-wake zones that scare away the powerboaters. If any of you want something different, or are maybe just passing through to bigger water, take a couple days and check out one of our little puddles.
