Fish Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Lincoln Township, LaPorte County, Indiana, United States. It is located where Indiana State Road 4 passes between Upper Fish Lake and Lower Fish Lake. These lakes feed the Kankakee River. As of the 2020 census, Fish Lake had a population of 1,052.[4]
Fish Lake is located in eastern LaPorte County in the center of Lincoln Township. The community surrounds Lower Fish Lake and covers the north, west, and south sides of Upper Fish Lake. Mill Creek, the lakes' outlet, flows south to the Little Kankakee River and then shortly to the Kankakee River, a west-flowing waterway that is a primary tributary of the Illinois River.
Indiana State Road 4 passes through the community, between the two lakes, and leads northwest 10 miles (16 km) to La Porte, the county seat, and southeast 7 miles (11 km) to North Liberty. Fish Lake is 20 miles (32 km) southwest of South Bend.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Fish Lake CDP has a total area of 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2), of which 1.5 square miles (4.0 km2) are land and 0.3 square miles (0.9 km2), or 18.24%, are water.[5]
