One of the biggest perks I often discuss with potential customers is the many opportunities lake homeowners have to entertain. Having a home on the water is unique in the Midwest and especially in Central Indiana. With Lake Clearwater in Anderson and Geist and Morse Reservoirs in Indianapolis being full-recreation lakes, the possibilities are really endless when it comes to entertaining family and guests on the water right in your backyard.

Many residents build their own pools in their backyard like the picture seen below. The warmer months bode extra fun as families enjoy the water both on the lake and in their swimming pools.

Outdoor seating and areas for outdoor kitchens are other items residents like to include in their backyards as they plan and build their homes. Being around the water is not only unique in Indiana but it is full of convenience. The ability to do all kinds of entertaining and activities right in your backyard is a convenience you can’t get many places. It can be peaceful with a hammock near the water or full of fun with swimming, fishing, tubing, or sailing anytime you want.

Going on the water in a pontoon boat or speedboat is an entertaining must. Taking a tour of the lake or fishing are great ways to interact with guests to show them lake living at its finest. It is popular for residents to plan boating excursions together and to tie the boats together so the kids can swim and the adults can enjoy a lazy afternoon on the water.

No matter the kind of entertaining you like to do, be it on the water or in your backyard, homes on the water offer the best in entertainment for your family and friends.
