Indian Boundary Lake
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
This 96-acre lake provides a scenic backdrop for camping, fishing, picnicking and boating from the hub at Indian Boundary Recreation Area. The lake features a sandy swim beach, boat launch and accessible fishing pier. From the 3.6-mile lakeshore trail, you can watch beaver that inhabit a pond above the lake, identify several species of ducks and other waterfowl or try your luck at catching bass, catfish and bluegill.
