jefftheref Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Is Lake Santee still open? My parents bought a lot down there when it first opened back in the 60's. They had big plans but they never materialized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 So, are they relocating Indiana Beach to Lake Santee, or am I misinterpreting this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started the thread and now I am confused myself! Indiana Beach is closed/closed down. Lake Santee has nothing to do with the thread whatsoever.
