Drakes Ridge is situated in the southeast of Indiana just a few miles north of the town of Vevay - pronounced vuh-vay - which sits on the side of the Ohio River, the boundary with Kentucky. It sits in 110 acres of forest with about twenty of them used for the cabins and caravans belonging to the members together with the clubhouse, which contains a well-equipped community kitchen with tables and chairs; a bathhouse containing a lavatory, a shower and a wash basin with another shower on one of the outside walls; a swimming pool and sun deck; a volleyball court, other games facilities; and a quarter-acre lake. When we were there the hot tub had been delivered and was being installed.

​

​The other ninety acres are across the road and on each side of the road there is a notice warning people to cover up when crossing over. Across the little-used road is a half-acre lake with a mown path running around it. There are also several paths running through the woods. One of these goes right down to a river, which when we were there was dry. Beside it someone had built a little shrine with a statue of the Virgin Mary in it.
