Gourt Home::Gourt :: Indian Lake (Ohio)
Indian Lake is a lake in Logan County in western Ohio in the United States. It is approximately 15 mi (24 km) southeast of Lima. It is the source of the Great Miami River.
The lake was a well-known vacation resort. A song by The Cowsills during the 1960s was mistakenly attributed to this lake, but was actually written about a lake by the same name in New York State.
The lake itself is man made and has a very shallow average depth no greater than 6 feet. Without constant dredging of silt and muck from the bottom, the lake would fill up and become a wetlands. Stumps are prevalent in several areas and can cause a hazard for boaters to this day. The primary purpose of the lake today is recreation; fishing and boating being the most common activities. The lake is stocked with fish including Saugeye, and several fishing tournaments are held there each year.
Several villages are located on or very near the lake. Russells Point is a village on the south end, and the village of Lakeview is to the southwest of the lake. Much of the lake area, including the Indian Isles, is of the Huntsville mailing address, although Huntsville, Ohio is located several miles east of the lake.
