Indiana is very fortunate to have many natural lakes, streams and rivers. Our state is also dotted with several man made ponds, lakes and reservoirs including Lake Monroe shown here. Lake Monroe is Indiana's largest lake and is located in southern Indiana just south and east of Bloomington, Indiana. Many of the reservoirs are used for flood control by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

We love  photos of Indiana people, places, and things. You can view our photo Gallery by clicking on the photos here or view our latest finds by following the links below.

Many of the reservoirs in Indiana, like Lake Monroe, are under the control of the US Army  Corps of Engineers and are used to help with flood control in our rivers. The lake levels fluctuate with the need for flood control and tend to be high in the spring, normal in summer and low in winter. This rule isn't always true but is more so than not. You can bet that if the rivers are flooded then the dams are locked up tight to hold the excess water to prevent further flooding.       Cagles Mill Reservoir, also called Cataract Lake is shown here in this picture taken from the dam in the fall of 2004. Richard Lieber State Recreation Area is located on the east side of this lake and offers camping, picnicking, and water sports. Boat ramps, boat docks, and consessions are available in season. Cataract Falls SRA is located at the upper end of Cagles Mill Reservoir and offers hiking, fishing, picnicking and sightseeing. Click here to view the entire Gallery.
