Please be advised that only customers renting boats from the privately-operated Indian Lake Marina on Lake Shore Drive will be permitted to launch/park there. We are aware that many of our customers have traditionally used the marina for launching/parking, however we encourage you to do so at the Indian Lake Islands Campground after check-in for your reservation. Keep in mind that this may add up to 8 miles to your route to access campsites on Indian Lake Islands. We apologize for this inconvenience but look forward to welcoming you to our facility.
