Westler-Lake
is located in LaGrange County near the town of Wolcottville in northeast Indiana. As of the 2000 census, the population of Wolcottville was 933 residents. Indiana has many beautiful lakes, and among them are the five bodies of water making up the Chain of Lakes in the northeastern portion of the state. Surrounded by private campgrounds and an Indiana state park, the Chain of Lakes is a popular destination for camping, fishing and boating. Westler Lake is known mostly for its fishing for black crappie, largemouth bass and bluegill. Along with Westler Lake, the other lakes that make up the chain are Witmer, Dallas, Hackenberg and Messick Lakes. Westler Lake connects directly with both Witmer and Dallas Lakes through navigable channels. The surface area of Westler Lake is 88 acres, with a maximum depth of 33 feet. The average depth is 20 feet. Public access to Westler Lake is from Southeast Shore 700S (across from Coody Brown's Bar and Restaurant.) There is limited parking on a gravel lot and the boat ramp is concrete. Another of the Chain of Lakes, Dallas Lake, which connects to Westler Lake, is known for its skiing. Dallas Lake Park is a 96-acre public park on the south shore of the lake. There is also a swimming beach with lifeguards and a natural wetlands area.

Westler Lake 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.
