Indian Lake, also known as Indian Pond, is a small but productive 200-acre lake located in the southeast part of Rhode Island at Indian Lake Shores in South Kingstown. This scenic freshwater destination sits in Washington County and offers excellent fishing opportunities in a setting wrapped by dense forest and private homes with boat docks. With about three miles of shoreline to explore and a maximum depth of 30 feet, the lake provides diverse fishing experiences for both locals and visitors. The clear waters and moderate size make it particularly well-suited for canoes and kayaks, while its accessibility and healthy fish populations have made it a favorite among Rhode Island anglers.
