Recently, my wife and I had the pleasure of discovering Wasatch Lake. Located just an hour and a half from the north side of Indianapolis in the rolling hills of Owen County near Spencer, Wasatch Lake is close enough to the Indy area to be very convenient but secluded enough to feel like you’re on a getaway. With its wide-open spaces and private individual cabins, Wasatch Lake is the ideal place for you and your family to escape the confinement of your home during the pandemic or host your extended wedding party or small corporate retreat at a very reasonable cost.
WHAT WASATCH LAKE HAS TO OFFER

asatch Lake is a small yearround family-owned and -operated retreat comprised of 300 acres of woodlands and a 50-acre lake surrounded by seven fully furnished cabins. The lake has been owned by longtime Indianapolis
to prepare and serve a meal. Additionally, each cabin has an indoor fireplace, an outdoor firepit and a charcoal grill. Firewood is made available by the staff, as is basically everything you will need to make your stay convenient, cozy and memorable. As fall weather becomes more prevalent, imagine the prospect of curling up in a cabin with a good book and a fire after a brisk walk
resident Turner J.R. Woodard since 1996. Under Woodard’s stewardship, Wasatch Lake has become a retreat for families, weddings and corporate events without losing any of its charm and native feel. One thing you won’t find there is a field full of campers and roving hoards of ATVs. Each cabin has a full kitchen with stove, microwave, refrigerator and utensils needed
around the lake. The centerpiece of the complex is the lake. It is terrific for swimming or fishing or just enjoying from the deck of your cabin. The owners provide several types of boats, from canoes to paddleboats, for you to use for free to explore the lake.
