Indiana Beach is a lakeside amusement park on Lake Shafer with roller coasters, a water park and classic boardwalk midway games. The wooden Cornball Express climbs through the structure of the Hoosier Hurricane coaster on its way up the lift. The park announced a permanent closure in February 2020, but a new owner reopened it on June 27, 2020. After the regular summer season, Boardwalk Days brings back select rides and games on fall weekends.
