CULVER: LAKE MAXINKUCKEE is the second largest, spring fed lake in Indiana! This 1,864 acre all sports lake is nicely located just 2 hours from Chicago and Indianapolis! Lake Maxinkuckee has a maximum depth of 88 feet and an average depth of 24 feet. Lake Maxinkuckee is famous for some of the best walleye fishing in the midwest, as recognized by Field & Stream Magazine. Local fishermen often go ice fishing here, the most frequent catch is bluegill but yellow perch, crappie, and bass are also common. The first inhabitants of this lake were mound builders, probably of the Potawatomi or Miami Tribes. They are thought to have called it "Clear Blue Water" in their native tongue. Several mounds were built on the banks of the lake which were probably used as points of reference for the natives. The first white settlers came in 1836. Henry Harrison Culver, for whom the town is now named, founded the Culver Military Academy in 1894!

 

KNOX: BASS LAKE is the fourth largest natural lake in Indiana and actually stands on top of a hill! A very unique lake in Indiana, it covers more than 1,400 acres! Natural springs and a few flowing wells maintain the lakes water level which is guaranteed by an outlet dam. The maximum depth of Bass Lake is 32 feet. The long and sandy beaches and great location make this lake a favorite getaway for many! Although it is primarily a summer resort now, many years ago the Knickerbocker Ice Company of Chicago used to cut thousands of tons of ice here and stored it in huge lakeside warehouses, then shipped it by train to Chicago!
