Indian Lake State Park, State park on Indian Lake in Schoolcraft County, United States.
Description
Indian Lake State Park consists of two separate units spread along the southern and western shores of Michigan's fourth largest inland lake. The park features fishing opportunities, boat access, and hiking trails winding through forested terrain.
History
The park was established in 1932 and underwent major development during the Great Depression through work by the Civilian Conservation Corps. These workers left behind lasting structures that remain in use today.
Culture
The area holds historical connections to Native American communities, as evidenced by 1850 survey records documenting their settlements near the lake's outlet.
Practical
The south unit has modern camping facilities, while the west unit provides semi-modern sites set within forest. Both areas accommodate different visitor preferences and activity levels.
Did you know?
A limestone picnic shelter built in the 1930s, measuring about 40 by 80 feet, remains standing and continues to serve visitors today. This structure stands as one of the most enduring legacies from that era of public works construction.
