OUABACHE STATE PARK
 
Ouabache is difficult to spell, but easy to pronounce. Simply say 'Wabash'...just like the river that forms the southwest boundary for the park. This is the French spelling of an Indian word, so don't be surprised to hear some folks call it o-ba-chee. 
Kunkel Lake offers excellent fishing. During the summer months, a naturalist will provide information about the natural wonders of the park. A rental pavilion is ideal for special gatherings and is now available all year. 
State park permits can be purchased at any of the state park property locations across Indiana. State park permits can also be ordered online by visiting the 
INDINIA ENTRANCE FEE web page.
