Indian-Celina Lakes Recreation Area

Indian-Celina Lakes Recreation Area is located two miles south of Interstate 64 off Indiana 37. It offers opportunities for both overnight and day use, with two camping loops and two lakes that offer paddling, fishing and boating (electric motors only), and two trails for hiking. This area is operated by a concessionaire under a special use permit issued by the Forest Service from mid-April through late October.

  • There is no designated swimming beach provided at Indian or Celina Lakes. Indiana state law mandates a person must not swim or allow a child or other person in their care to swim at a location other than a designated beach during designated hours.
  • State law does allow swimmers to swim from a watercraft between sunrise and sunset in an embayment on a reservoir property but not within 300 feet of a designated launching ramp. Please use caution.
  • Restrooms are not available at this site.
  • Modern flush restrooms available during camping season. Vault toilets available year-round.
  • Potable water is available at this site.
