Lake Lemon - Lake Lemon is ideal for water skiing. It's small enough that you can usually find glassy water, and it's big enough that you don't get board. Lake Lemon is privately own by the home owners, but the public has access through various marinas and boat launch locations. Note that Lake Lemon is treated regularly for weeds; Look for notices before swimming in the lake or eating fish you catch from it.
Hilly Hundred - Sponsored by the Central Indiana Bicycling Association, the Hilly Hundred attracts thousands of participants. The three day event in early October includes entertainment, refreshments, and a lot of pedaling. Download the free GPS Map for bike routes similar to those used in the past.
