La Fontaine welcomes you with a relaxed, small‑town pace, tree‑lined streets, and easy access to the best of Wabash County. Commuters appreciate the straightforward drive to Wabash, Marion, and Peru, while staying close to rolling farmland and the Mississinewa River corridor.
Weekend plans often start outdoors. Boaters, anglers, and hikers head to Indiana DNR’s expansive Salamonie Lake and nearby Mississinewa Lake for miles of trails, wildlife viewing, and year‑round recreation. For culture and family outings, the world‑class Honeywell Center anchors the regional arts scene with concerts, touring shows, and community programs. Just a few minutes more, Charley Creek Gardens blends education and tranquility with themed gardens, a conservatory, and seasonal events.
Families are served by the Metropolitan School District of Wabash County, known for supportive teachers, competitive athletics, and hands‑on learning. High schoolers can tap into career and technical programs through the acclaimed Heartland Career Center, offering pathways in health sciences, advanced manufacturing, and more. Housing ranges from classic early‑20th‑century homes to newer builds on generous lots, and local businesses—from morning coffee spots to handy service shops—make daily life convenient and personal.
