Lake Lemon for fishing, watersports and relaxation.
Lake Lemon has everything inland boaters want - from terrific fishing
to extreme watersports, there is clear and open water here for everyone.
Lake Lemon is surrounded by the most scenic wooded hills in Indiana,
just waiting for you.
Located in southern Indiana approximately
10 miles northeast of Bloomington, Indiana, Lake Lemon is an artificial
reservoir owned by the City of Bloomington and managed by the Lake
Lemon Conservancy District.
It
is bounded by private and public property in Monroe County and Brown County,
with
the
eastern end of the lake in Brown County. The surface area of the lake
is 1,650 acres (6.7 km2), making it the 11th largest lake in Indiana.
There are 24 miles (39 km) of shoreline. The lake has an average depth
of 9.7 feet (3 m) at full pool level. The greatest depth is somewhat
in excess of 20 feet (6 m), matching with the original Bean Blossom Creek
bed. [from answers.com]
Monroe Lake / Monroe Reservoir
Indiana's largest lake, near the Indiana University campus, features
a scenic stone-bluffed shoreline and wooded hills. Monroe Lake is located
in south central Indiana. A large portion of the lake (east of the 446
causeway) has been set aside as an idle zone. This makes it perfect for
paddlesports and fishing. Powerboaters can ski in the lake west
of the 446 causeway. The lake was completed by the Corps
of Engineers in 1965. While this area of southern Indiana is known as
the "The Limestone
Capital of the World," at one time it also had several salt deposits,
creating a lucrative trade by rafting the mined salt down the creek that
would one day become Monroe Lake. Hence the name, Salt Creek.
Monroe Reservoir is 10,750 acres water with 23,952 total. Lake Monroe has three
state recreational areas: Hardin Ridge, Paynetown, and Fairfax. The lake
is served by a full-service marina. [From: Lake-monroe.com]
