The Barbee chain of lakes is made up of seven interconnected natural lakes in northeastern Indiana's Kosciusko County, including Banning Lake, Big Barbee Lake, Little Barbee Lake, Irish Lake, Kuhn Lake, Sechrist Lake, and Sawmill Lake. Covering a combined surface area of 855 acres, the chain of lakes was formed by retreating glaciers during the Pleistocene and offer an array of recreational activities and watersports. Boating and fishing are prime recreational pursuits on the Barbee Lakes, with anglers rewarded with bountiful catches of bluegill, catfish, crappie, muskie, largemouth bass, and yellow perch. Other activities include biking, hiking, geocaching, golf, and swimming.
