Cedar Lake, located in Lake County, Indiana, stands as the fourth largest natural lake in the state at 784 acres, stretching 2.1 miles long and 0.9 miles at its widest point with a maximum depth of approximately 30 feet. This northwest Indiana gem has been a popular fishing destination since the time of the Potawatomi Indians who used the area as part of their food trail in the early 1800s. The lake's clear waters and abundant fish populations make it an ideal spot for anglers of all skill levels, offering both shoreline and boat fishing opportunities with plenty of inlets, coves, and bays to explore.
