About Indiana Beach
Indiana Beach sits on Lake Shafer in Monticello, with wooden coasters, a boardwalk midway and a water park. It nearly closed in 2020, was bought by Gene Staples, and is celebrating its 100th season in 2026. Right now the cheapest way in is Boardwalk Days, where a $5 gate ticket comes back to you as $5 in Crow Cash.
