Located in the rolling hills of southern Indiana just a few miles northeast of Bloomington, Lake Lemon was initially created for drinking water and flood control and is now home to many residential homes and offers a variety of recreation and outdoor activities. Summertime sees the blossoming of wildflowers at the lake’s native prairie demonstration site and, combined with the meadows of rolling grass, makes for a spectacular and scenic setting. The lovely surroundings of the lake are conducive to other activities such as hiking, mountain, and horseback riding, and the Morgan Monroe State Forest and the Hoosier National Forest are a short drive away and offer excellent camping, rock climbing, picnic areas, and hiking trails.
