One of two all-sports lakes in a chain of five lakes sometimes called the Indian Lakes Chain in Indiana's Northern Region, Dallas Lake is a beautiful Midwestern lake that has been a favored summer fishing and boating spot for more than 150 years. Surrounded by pristine natural landscapes of extensive wetlands and many small lakes and streams, the five-lake chain begins just a mile or so west of the town of Wolcottville and is connected by the Little Elkhart River. The 283-acre Dallas Lake offers excellent outdoor and recreational facilities for all types of water-based sports, ranging pleasure boating, fishing, and kayaking to powerboating, jet-skiing, water-skiing, and wakeboarding. A 96-acre public park on the south shore of the lake boasts protected swimming areas and an interesting wetland nature trail.
