I keep hearing about this lake and it's close enough to go for the day. Does anyone know how you get there from Cabot or how much it costs? Do you recommend going there to swim? Thanks!

You can take hwy 5 then there's a on the left that's just past lewisberg rd (on the right) I think you can follow it straight down to it I believe..its been a really long time since I went there so someone may want to correct me if I'm wrong on the roads off of hwy 5

I have went there since I was a kid, now I take my kids, it very beautiful, and relaxing. The kids like the paddle boats, diving boards and the slides. As for camping, they don't have showers!! If that doesn't bother you your good to go. I am planning to have my daughters birthday part there this summer does anyone know how to contact them? |

Now the 19 year old from Sherwood. Hmmmm! Thank you. |

I just read this article on fox 16. That is so sad. |

There are "dens" of snakes at ALL natural water reserves - lakes, ponds, streams, etc. The only reason there are not in a back yard swimming pool is the chemicals that you place in the pools that keep them out. I am not aware of any den in the swimming area at Indian Lake though. There are other areas of water for fishing that MAY have a den. Indian Lake is a very safe, family oriented place and the government would not let them charge money and put people in danger if there were "dens or beds of snakes" as people on this website are stating. Snakes dens are at the edge of the water by the bank anyway, not out in the middle of the water! |

Yes, in fact there was someone who was killed last year from one. |
|
I hate to break it to you but the kid that was killed last year was in fact not by the bank when he/she got into the den of snakes and was killed. |
|
do u kno what the kid's name was? |

OK, so courios me, I did internet research and found RUMORS, RUMORS! See Snopes.com : This legend casts water moccasins (or cottonmouths, as they are also called) as the villians because these are the only venomous aquatic snakes in the U.S. Water moccasins don't form "nests" in the water. They're solitary creatures, and even their young quickly go their own ways after coming into this world. Contrary to popular legends, there are NO documented cases of ANYONE suffering multiple snake bites from tumbling into an aggregation or cluster of water moccasins. In fact, human deaths attributed to that species are less than one person per year - out of more than 250 million Americans. Larry McCurty's 1985 novel Lonesome Dove contains a FICTIONAL but memorable "underwater nest of water moccasins" scene. Sorry readers, but no one has died at Indianhead Lake from being bit by a nest of water snakes. |

*curious* not courious. Misspelled...Oops.
|
|
Well, thank you. There you go, rumors squashed! If this is the same one I recall, the kid died of a heart condition that was undiagnosed. |

its like 5 dollars a peron to get in if i remember corectly. But i would say if youve got time to kill and got no where else to go swimm its not that bad. Not much to do but swim and ive heard that the owner is a complete asshole though, but i never met him when me and my friends went.
