Heritage Lake…it is hard to describe what it means to me after 23 years of summers on this private Indiana lake located in the west central part only 30 miles from Indianapolis. 23 years of watching scenes like the one pictured above surrounded by family and friends while my dad plays his patriotic anthems on his accordian! Watching three times the usual fireworks show because there are the fireworks in the air, the refections on the water and the red, green and white boat lights filling the lake as far as you can see. The kids sit around the fire waiting to do our own display over the water after the boats have headed for home…and you don’t have to fight any traffic to get home! You’re there, lakeside Indiana, knowing tomorrow will include boating, water skiing, fishing and more. So, I’m wondering, what did you do this summer? There is still time for you to finish this one off right! Gorgeous sunsets still put on a spectacular close to each day over the lakefront. The water is warm enough for swimming. This fish are biting. The leaves will change and reflect on the Heritage Lake waterfront for natures most spectacular show! Winter is gorgeous as well and I love being on the ice and ice fishing myself, although that’s not for everyone. Heritage Lake is 320 acres and 2 1/2 miles long for skiing, there is a brand new pool being built at the clubhouse, we have 3 sandy beaches, marina with gas pump lakeside, nature preserves, parks and picnic areas and the lake is stocked with several varieties of fish for some of the best fishing in Indiana.  Since Heritage Lake is private, everyone using the lake has a vested interest in the lake and we do not experience the crowds of the public resevoirs. Brouhard Realtors have been the Heritage Lake experts since 1987. It is our privilage to help you find your perfect lakehouse escape or year ’round lake home!
