Lake Maxinkuckee

Indiana's second-largest natural lake. Home to Culver Academies.

Lake Maxinkuckee is Indiana's second-largest natural lake, 1,860 acres in Marshall County, with the town of Culver on its northeast shore and the Culver Academies waterfront campus running the length of it.

About Lake Maxinkuckee

Lake Maxinkuckee sits in Marshall County, Indiana's second-largest natural lake after Wawasee, with the town of Culver tight against its northeast shore. Culver Academies, the military and naval boarding school whose Black Horse Troop and Woodcraft Camp traditions both date to the early 1900s, runs its campus along the water — the reason this lake town reads differently from a typical Indiana second-home market. The whole commercial strip fits on and around Lake Shore Drive and Main Street: a lakefront coffee shop, a boat-in restaurant, a full-service marina, and not much beyond that.
