Containing over 6 billion gallons of water, this 1,900-acre lake is the second largest artificial lake in Indiana. Spanning three counties, it provides GHPOA residents with an opportunity to participate in many water oriented recreational activities.
Those residents who do not have direct access to the lake may launch their boats from the boat ramp on Olio Road. Sailboats may launch from the Geist Marina. Boat slips, pontoon boats and kayaks are also available for rental. The Indianapolis Sailing Club, Indianapolis Yacht Club and the Marina Limited Partnership web sites contain more information.

Our area has an abundance of wild life (including American bald eagles, red tailed hawks, blue herons, deer, rabbits, and red squirrels to name just a few). GHPOA has financially supported efforts to create walking/jogging paths to enhance our community. An internet search of walking paths, nature trails and parks around Geist Lake will produce numerous web sites that provide in-depth information.
GHPOA provides snow removal service in the community. When snowfall reaches 2 inches or more, private contractors work to remove the snow as quickly as possible. In addition, intersections and roads known to be especially susceptible to ice and snow are given special attention.
