A popular tourist destination in north-central Indiana, Monticello is home to Indiana Beach Amusement Park and the beautiful Lake Shafer and Lake Freeman.
Back in the 1920’s, Lake Shafer, one of the two reservoirs located in the Twin Lakes area of Monticello, was created along with Lake Freeman when two dams were created outside of Monticello on the Tippecanoe River. Today, this one of a kind tourist destination brings in an estimated $70 million in Tourism Revenue for White County.
Enjoy the waterfront views on Lake Shafer while staying at one the many rental cottages across the lake. Among these properties is the exquisite Lighthouse Lodge B&B. With its cozy and beach-like ambiance, this vacation destination is the perfect place to stay for visitors!
