Indian Lake is the second-largest inland lake in the state of Ohio at 5,104 acres. It was originally used as a water reservoir and is not very deep. This lake is great for fishing and boating. There are a few nice sandbar areas where you can park the boat and get out to walk around in knee-high to waist-high water on nice sandy bottoms. I do have to say that the lake water is not very clean. The water is brown and there is a lot of seaweed.

We camped at the state park campground in the tent with the grandkids in August of 2020. We have been to this lake several times over the years and the state park and campground are very nice.

There are two public beaches, Old Field Beach and Fox Island Beach, which provide 1,400 feet of access to the lake. One public beach allows boaters to also park the boat and get out and play on the beach. We had our dog with us and he was welcome just about everywhere we went.

The restrooms at the State Park Campground were clean and modern. We camped in site B38 and had plenty of room and lots of shade. Sad that I did not get a picture of our campsite this weekend. I actually did not take very many pictures at…
