Indian Lake

Indian Lake is a 4,255-acre reservoir in the central Adirondacks, created by damming the Indian River in 1898. The lake supports year-round fishing for lake trout, landlocked salmon, and bass — boat launches at multiple access points make it a hub for multi-day paddling and motorboat use.
