Planning Tips

    About Turtle Shell Campground

    Discover where 19th-century canal history meets modern waterfront recreation at Indian Lake State Park. This 5,100-acre lake invites you to boat, fish, swim, and jet ski in warmer months, then return for ice fishing and snowmobiling when winter arrives. Whether you're testing your skills at the five-lane archery range near Moundwood or simply soaking in legendary sunsets from your campsite, adventure awaits at every turn.
