Conveniently Close to Indianapolis

Morse Reservoir is a short drive from Indianapolis, but it is still far enough to hide lake residents from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Built in 1956, Morse Reservoir is one of three human-made reservoirs in Indiana.

With 1500 acres of water and 35 miles of shoreline, Morse has more than enough room for you and your family.

Anglers know Morse Reservoir for its exceptional population of baitfish and largemouth bass. Other popular species to watch out for are black crappie, bluegill, and yellow bass.

Fox Prairie & Forest Park Golf Courses sit right off the southern shore of Morse Reservoir.

Fox Prairie is one of the more extensive courses in the area, with 27 holes for players to enjoy. It hosts the Indiana Golf Associations Tournament of Champions annually and maintains high ratings in Golf Digest's "Places to Play."

The Forest Park course is only nine holes and is perfect if you are looking to play a quicker game.
