Indiana is a fantastic state for those who enjoy kayaking and canoeing. Between the abundance of beautiful lakes and the 205 days (on average) of sunshine per year, it’s easy to see why so many take up the hobby. But if you only have time to take one more kayaking trip before the season is over, we highly recommend heading to Monroe Lake.

Monroe Lake (or Lake Monroe) is the largest lake that Indiana doesn't share with any other state.

It has 10,750 acres (43.5 km2) of water surface area spread over the counties of Monroe and Brown.
This lake is beautiful in any season, but summer and early fall are the most popular times to go.

The crisp air and changing leaves make it an especially delightful experience.
Believe it or not, this lake was man-made between 1960 and 1965.

The lake was created and is still managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. It still serves as a reservoir.
