Lake James

About Lake James

Lake James is the largest of the Great Lakes and the second largest in the United States after Lake Michigan. The lake feeds the entire chain and there are more than 2,500 km of shoreline between Lake James and Lake Erie. This basin hole was created by the same receding glaciers that filled the great lakes and led to the creation of a large number of lakes, rivers, streams, lakes and rivers in this region.

The park was founded in 1925 when Steuben County residents bought and donated land and the state doubled the size of the park after the famous Potawatomi Inn opened its first campsite on Lake James.

In addition to the inn, the park offers many activities in all three seasons, including a wooded campground, hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding and fishing. Even in winter it does not sleep and it offers a wide range of hiking trails, from groomed trails to asphalt trails and trails for hiking and cycling.

The Lake James Association also includes many community events and visitors, including the annual Summer Festival, the Great Lakes Water Festival and the annual Summer Lakes Festival.

Lake James is truly a lava and rubber paradise, offering great views of the Great Lakes and a host of other attractions. The 1229 hectare lake allows you to visit beautiful houses and sail directly off the coast. Other nearby attractions include Lake James State Park, James River Park and Indiana State Historic Park.

Fishing is in love with almost every gum and a concerted effort has been made to make Walleye one of the top catches in the lake. It is only fair to list all the species that anglers find in James Lake, from the largest to the smallest.

I live on the banks of the surrounding farms and can do a lot for my physical well-being - but I am also very lucky to live on the banks of a lake.

Lake James is a beautiful lake that deserves your attention, so make sure you drop by first and maybe last - you won't regret it.

Canada geese have become a nuisance on lakes in northeastern Indiana, allowing landowners to destroy the eggs and remove the nests from their property. Sand Hill Cranes nest in Lake James and form a family, but they are a problem for the rest of the lake and the surrounding area.
