Indian Lake State Park is a public recreation area covering 567 acres (229 ha) in Schoolcraft County on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The state park is made up of two units that are three miles apart, one on the south shore of Indian Lake, one on the west shore.[3]
Acquisition of the south shore site occurred in 1932; acquisition of the west shore site occurred in 1939, with development beginning there in 1965.[3] Members of the Civilian Conservation Corps and WPA developed the south shore site in the 1930s, building a log bath house[4] and a 40-by-80-foot limestone picnic shelter[5] that is still in use.[6]
