'Patona Bay Marina and Resort

Patona Bay Marina consists of a full-service marina, defined as a new and used boat/PWC dealership as well as a full-service parts and service department. The marina also offers repairs, seasonal services (installing/removing boat lifts), and other services.

Patona Bay Resort has existed since the 1920s, and has grown into several-hundred unit seasonal resort, which allows patrons to pay a seasonal rent to reside at the Resort during the summer months (April–October). Pier spaces do cost an additional fee, but if one has a boat/PWC the price is relatively affordable. As the real estate prices for individual homes on Lake Tippecanoe have reached nearly $450,000 for a small cottage (roughly 1,200 sq. ft.), Patona Bay Resort is a relatively affordable way for families to enjoy the lake in the summer months without the hassle of a year-round mortgage. The resort also includes a gift shop/arcade/snack bar during the summer, a separate swimming beach with several areas for kids to play, other amenities such as a pet walk for dogs, family events during the summer holiday weekends, etc.

Pied-Eyed Petey's Restaurant and Bar

Pie-Eyed Petey's Restaurant and Bar, occupying the former site of Plaza Marina, is a full-service restaurant/bar, with a limited marina services and more importantly fueling services. The marina offers a limited selection of boating accessories, as well as a store with T-shirts, hand painted signs, and other lake-oriented accessories.

Pie-Eyed Petey's is the only full-service restaurant and bar on the lake. The menu consists of pizzas, subs, tenderloins, chicken fingers, hamburgers, etc. The bar is full service. The decor in the bar reflects Lake Tippecanoe's heritage; from the early days of pull-start outboard motors hanging on the wall, to water skis dating from the 1960s, to the teak MasterCraft Decks from the 1990s, this eatery has a strong flair for Lake Tippecanoe nostalgia. A newly completed "Tiki" Bar is located outdoors, with flat screen TVs and a full-service bar to serve outdoor patrons. The outdoor dining area has grown in recent years, and much of it is covered by canopies, with large outdoor heaters if the temperatures require them. Most recently, a red lighthouse has been constructed and is nearing completion as of the end of June, 2011.
