Indian Lake is one of the largest lakes in the United States and the second largest lake in Ohio. Named after the various Indian tribes that inhabited the area, the lake is fed by the Great Miami River and several tributaries. In the mid-19th century, Indian Lake was a feeder lake for the Miami and Erie canals.
