Salamonie Lake is a reservoir of about 4.5 square miles on the Salamonie River, held back by a 133-foot dam the Corps of Engineers built in 1966.
We rent MasterCraft wakesurf boats, Sea-Doo jet skis and water toys on Salamonie Lake, and everything is ready for you at the lake. Add a captained charter with lessons for every level.
The lake reaches into Wabash and Huntington counties near Lagro, and the whole project covers about 12,000 acres of land and water.
