Indian Lake is a reservoir in Ohio, near Logan County.
Indian Lake is a shallow lake with islands, channels and plenty of developed access. Saugeye and crappie are good reasons to fish here, but its busy boating scene makes choosing the right section worthwhile. You can launch near the water you want instead of crossing the lake just to begin.
Work modest depth changes and channel edges for saugeye with a jig or small diving bait. For crappie, use lighter tackle beside cover and keep testing depth. The island channels break the lake into smaller areas, but they also concentrate boat traffic. Fish clear of marked travel lanes and give passing boats room.
Lakeview Harbor, Blackhawk, Moundwood and Chippewa have developed ramps. Cranetown Island has a smaller ramp and limited trailer spaces. Moundwood also has an accessible kayak launch, giving paddlers a specific entry point rather than an uncertain shoreline carry.
Old Field Beach and Fox Island Beach provide designated swimming areas. The west and south bank trail and Pew Island walking loop add things to do beside the lake. Campground boating and swimming facilities include areas reserved for registered campers, so use the public ramps and beaches if you're visiting for the day.
