About Indian Lake Campground

[](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157663905422102) Indian Lake Campground is located on the 34-acre Indian Lake. The lake is surrounded by national forest, except a few small private ownerships on the northwest and southeast sides of the lake. The lake has clear water and a sandy bottom, and is popular for fishing. A boat launch provides both motorized and nonmotorized boating access to visitors. The lake is shallow and is characterized by reeds around the edges. The lake at its deepest is 10 feet. **[Flickr Photo Album](https://www.flickr.com/photos/usfs-hmnf/albums/72157663905422102)**
