101 lakes. One bait stop.

Indiana's third-largest natural lake — a deep, clear glacial chain wrapped around Pokagon State Park, with two public beaches.

A hard-water favorite come winter — and the DNR stocked walleye fingerlings here in fall 2025, so the class of '25 is coming of age.

Lives up to the name — gin-clear water and a rare northeast-Indiana shot at rainbow trout, plus 2025-stocked walleye.

The county's second-biggest water — room to run and plenty of shoreline to work.

Originally named Nipcondish — "gentle waters" — and still exactly that. A quiet bluegill-and-largemouth kind of morning.

The connected waters around Lake James — hop lake to lake by boat and follow the bite.
