Description: Geist Reservoir, home of the Indianapolis Sailing Club, is a bit of an exclusive lake, but well worth the experience if you can manage to go boating with someone there. Saying that the lake is surrounded by grand, expensive homes may be a bit of an understatement ('mansions' may be a more accurate term). I've spent several summer evenings relaxing on the Lake, as I'm fortunate enough to have a brother-in-law who kept his motorboat docked there. The absolute best time to be on or near the Lake is on July 4th - there's a really good annual fireworks display in the evening. Viewing the show from the water makes it all the more magical somehow. If you'd like to check out the area but don't know anyone who takes a boat there, the Lake restaurant is nice for catching lunch. You can eat on the patio and listen to a live band jam, while enjoying the serenity of the Lake.
