About Patoka Lake

Patoka Lake is Indiana's second-largest reservoir with 8,800 acres of water within nearly 26,000 total acres spanning three counties. The lake provides habitat for freshwater jellyfish and bald eagle nesting sites, and was used for the successful reintroduction of river otters and osprey.
