LaGrange County Indiana is a great place to live or visit (LaGrange County Convention and Visitors Bureau) because it has something for everyone. Small town living that embraces its history while planning for the future. Old-fashioned rural charm is evident everywhere. Farms with livestock and croplands, beautiful seasonal gardens, and sprawling wooded areas are the perfect backdrop for a view that may include a passing horse and buggy, people out for a leisurely stroll, or bicyclists.
If you want recreation; we've got it! We have over 70 local lakes for fishing, boating, skiing, tubing, swimming, or just floating on a raft. There's also the Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area. In the winter, the lakes are great for ice fishing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. There are plenty of places for hunters. We have a great public park system, a nature center, wildlife preserves, golf courses, and facilities for various sports for children. Shipshewana just opened a new waterpark.
If you want shopping, our location is convenient to Fort Wayne for department stores. Sturgis, Angola, and Kendallville have supermarkets and chain stores. But, what LaGrange County really has to offer is the quaint little shops, festivals and craft fairs, a seasonal farmer's market and roadside stands, the Shipshewana Flea Market, and the smaller stores where you are greeted by name. Fresh baked goods, produce, handcrafted woodworking, quilts, candles, antiques... the list is endless and you can find "one of a kind" items.
