Went night fishing and didn't even need bug spray. Surprisingly quite and appeared to be well maintained with plenty of trash receptacles. Small fires allowed as long as you put them out when you leave. We fished for about 8hrs and tried multiple different baits. Didn't catch anything nor did the 4 other groups fishing that night. At least not that I saw anyway. Not Indy Lakes fault. Some nights they're just not biting. It would be nice if they offered half off your next visit or something like that though if you don't catch a single fish. $30 is a little pricey not to get a bite in 8hrs of fishing

As a resident. I went in to take a shower the guy at night very rude , went off about paying 5 dollars for taking a shower !!! I would have thought would have been more professional , pretty sad the place is so much worried about 5dollars ¡¡¡¡ the placemust need themoney very badley to irate over 5 bucks. Nobody checks people coming in and not paying to fish which cost 30 bucks but fires off at there residence about 5 bucks for a shower ,,!!!!

Made a reservation on March 26th. Was emailed a quote. When we arrived on july 15th they said the rates went up. The gentleman called his boss to see if they can honor the price we were given. She said no. Stated that she sent an updated email (which we cannot find) even if she did, they should honor the original quote. That said, the park is almost entirely yearly and or seasonal. Which most are dirty and not well kept. The grounds are not taken care of and very old. Also the place is overrun by geese and duck with poop all over the roads and grass. The staff was polite and professional. Not the.boss and they called. Also, No wifi, no cable and no TV signals. We were told the satellite went.out last year and they never had it repaired. Would not stay there again.

We were not impressed with this place paid for 12 hours and we were told they had just stopped the day before and that day but we only caught one fish. To me it is not worth it. Don't waste your money.

Best lake to fish in indiana for contest fish. The back lake is stocked with many carp over 20 pounds, I have caught more 20 plus pound carp this year then I have in my entire life.
