Lake time could mean a lot of things, but we think it means taking time to do things you enjoy. Here’s are a couple ways that you can experience lake time in White County:

 During our time in White County, Rick and Debbie gave us a tour of some of their favorite spots: Rotary Centennial Park, where Rick leads locals on owl hikes, or the deck behind their home where they can watch bird migrations over the lake.

Rick and Debbie also showed us around downtown Monticello, where there are some incredible homes (one of them recently renovated and for sale!).

Grab a drink on Indiana’s largest boat, the Madam Carroll! 

While you’re there you should chat with Chris Peters. He moved back to White County after living on the east coast so that he could invest in and help grow his community. He’s doing great things with the Madam Carroll: it’s now open year-round and he hosts a ton of events (you might find the Easter bunny skiing behind the boat in the spring).

If you move to White County, you’ll find a community that combines lakeside living with forward thinking investments. You’ll find folks who have relocated to live on the lake and folks who have returned to be a part of White County’s future. White County is ready for you to be on lake time, full time.

This program is sponsored by the White County Economic Development Organization with support from the Indiana Economic Development Corporation.
