Ouabache is a state park in Indiana. It is located 30 miles south of Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The name comes from the French Jesuit spelling for Wabash, as the Wabash River runs through the park. The park provides fishing and nature viewing. A 100-foot fire tower offers an excellent view of the park.
Until the 1960's, when the practice was stopped, it was the greatest producer of chicks of pheasants and quails in the United States, making it known as the "Greatest Wildlife Laboratory in the U.S.". Some of the old pens can still be seen.
