Every French Lick getaway should include a trip to Patoka Lake!

Wildlife abounds here – nesting bald eagles and osprey, herons, loons, beavers, foxes, deer, wild turkeys, and more. The lake is even home to freshwater jellyfish. Don’t worry, though, they are too small to sting you.
Patoka Lake also offers fun recreational activities, including fishing, boating (rentals available, or bring your own), hiking, disc golf, picnicking, and more. You can even explore the lake in style on a tour boat – choose from wildlife tours or wine cruises.
