With a shoreline of 16 miles and covering 640 acres, Sylvan Lake is the largest lake in Noble County. Many lovely homes surround the lake, with more being built all the time. Some of these are second homes for the seasonal residents who come here in the summertime. The Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site is situated on a tranquil lakeside cove and her Cabin In Wildflower Woods set the stage for many of the authors' books, photographs and nature studies. Another interesting attraction on Sylvan Lake is an old stone home called "The Castle," which once belonged to legendary actress Carole Lombard. The annual Fun on Sylvan includes a full days activities and celebrates small town life in America. From the American Legions chicken BBQ to ice cream eating contests and the Patriotic Pontoon Parade, Rome City boasts authentic community spirit and fun.

Rome City Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Northwest Indiana has a four-season climate typical of most of the Midwest, with a few exceptions due to its proximity to Lake Michigan. Cold air passing over the warmer lake water induces precipitation in the lee of Lake Michigan in autumn and winter. As a result of this phenomena, heavy winter precipitation, especially snowfall, can extend eastward from Gary inland to as far as Elkhart. Lake-related snowfall and cloudiness can extend to central Indiana in winter, driven by strong northwesterly winds. In the spring, daily maximum temperatures decrease northward in northern Indiana because of the cooling effect of the Lake. Average daily minimum temperatures in autumn are higher in northwestern Indiana near the warmer lake surface than farther south.
