Whitewater Lake is a 200-acre manmade lake within Whitewater Memorial State Park in Indiana. The lake features trolling-motor only restrictions, making it ideal for peaceful paddling away from powerboat traffic. A single boat ramp provides access, with picnicking and toilet facilities available nearby.

The park offers seasonal canoe, rowboat, and paddle boat rentals. While personal watercraft are permitted, all boats must use electric trolling motors only - no gas-powered engines are allowed. The lake has one designated swimming beach with modern bathhouse facilities, open Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The western shoreline features the Lakeshore Trail (2.7 miles) which traverses hills and valleys through hardwood forests, offering paddlers scenic views of the natural surroundings. The lake's northwest end is marked by extensive cattail marshes that provide habitat for waterfowl and other birds.

Fishing opportunities include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear, crappie, and catfish. A state fishing license is required. The lake's water quality is monitored regularly for safety, with occasional blue-green algae present (as in many Indiana lakes).

Established in 1949 as a memorial to World War II veterans, the surrounding 1,710-acre state park offers additional amenities including camping, family cabins, hiking trails, and horse trails. The park connects to the larger Brookville Lake, providing paddlers access to both waterways.

For overnight stays, the park features campgrounds with modern facilities including potable water and dump stations. Three types of camping are available: electric sites, non-electric sites, and primitive youth camping areas. Family cabins can be reserved year-round.
