The Dale England Rowing Center, northeast of Bloomington, Ind., is the practice and competition site for Indiana Rowing. Indiana University owns 33 waterfront acres on Lake Lemon, a 1,650-acre man-made body of water in Monroe and Brown Counties that is ideal for the sport of rowing. The lake is located 10 miles east of campus and is approximately three miles long. Each spring, a full 2,000-meter buoyed race course is installed on the lake, enabling the Hoosiers to host races throughout the spring. On April 30, 2005, Indiana Rowing played host to the Big Ten Rowing Championships.

On November 14, 2015, the rowing team unveiled an impressive new Rowing Team Boathouse, as the team officially opened the 10,000 square foot building that will house all of the team's boats and rowing equipment.

Construction of the new boathouse started in May 2015, as construction crews tore down the former boathouse to begin the five-month process of getting the new one up and running in time for the start of fall practice. The new boathouse is nearly three-times larger than the old boat house and has five bays dedicated to housing the boats.

There are enough racks in the boathouse to hold up to 18 eight-oar shells, 12 four-oar shells and over 20 small boats on individual racks. The bays are designed to give ample room for the team to meet before and after each practice as well large enough to park and load/unload the team’s trailer completely inside the building.
