WELCOME TO LEMON LAKE

At the 1972 March Park Board meeting Lemon Lake County Park was named after the small marsh area that had historically been called by that name.  Thus, Lemon Lake was the first Lake County Park opened to the public. 

Today, the park encompasses 403 acres of rolling hills and open space surrounded by wooded areas.  A One mile paved trail around the lake and more than 5 miles of primitive trails in hilly wooded terrain provide a wonderful opportunity for a nature walk.  Lemon Lake is more than passive recreation however.  It is home to softball fields, open play areas, a large creative playground, two sand volleyball courts, four 18 hole disc golf courses, fishing, picnicking, volleyball standards, paddleboat rentals, and a leash-free dog area. 

Volunteers play a key role at Lemon Lake County Park. The Red Roc disc golf organization has been responsible for helping to establish and maintain the championship disc golf course at the park. The Indiana State Disc Golf Tournament is completely run by volunteers. Recreation is the key word at Lemon Lake. With a great creative playground, volleyball courts, and cross country ski programs in the winter Lemon Lake is a recreational favorite.
