- Description
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 a Miami Indian word, "waapaahšiki," so don't be surprised to hear many folks call it o-ba-chee. The full name of the Wabash River in the Miami language is "waapaahšiki siipiiwi." See how the river's name was pronounced by the Miami tribe.
Kunkel Lake offers excellent fishing. During the summer months, a naturalist will provide information about the natural wonders of the park. A lodge recreation building is ideal for special gatherings and is now available all year.
During the summer, beach hours may change because of weather and staffing. Please contact the property office for exact times before your visit.
