Salem is located in scenic Southern Indiana just 35 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky and less than 100 miles south of Indianapolis, Indiana. Salem is a great place to live and make a living. We have high achieving public schools, and a wide variety of community activities. Salem also has a strong and diverse economic base. If you're a visitor to Salem, we hope you will take note of our many unique and historic destinations. As a city, Salem has retained much of its small town flavor, a flavor that is enhanced by the city’s tree-lined streets, stately old homes and a friendly atmosphere that has been nurtured and handed down through the generations.
The City of Salem is pleased to announce the latest developments at Lake Salinda, made possible through READI 1.0 grant funding. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance recreational opportunities in Salem, the grant is funding the construction of a new bathhouse, improving visitor amenities on-site.
In addition to the bathhouse, campsite development is currently underway, providing future opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy overnight stays at the lake. While a completion date for the campsites has yet to be determined, reservations will be handled through City Hall once the process is finalized.
Mayor Green expressed his excitement about the improvements, stating, "Lake Salinda is a valuable asset to our community, and these upgrades will enhance the visitor experience for years to come. We are grateful for the READI grant funding that allows us to make these much-needed improvements without additional cost to taxpayers."
An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be announced soon to celebrate the completion of the bathhouse and highlight future developments.
