Lake of the Woods is a 410-acre lake located in Marshall County, Indiana. The area was originally inhabited by the Potawatomi tribe, and was later settled by European immigrants in the 1800s. The lake was created in the 1920s by damming up several creeks and is now used for recreational activities, such as swimming and fishing. Hydrologically, the lake is fed by two main surface flow providers, as well as snowmelt and groundwater. The primary agricultural use in the area is corn and soybean farming, while recreational uses include camping and hiking. The lake is also home to a variety of wildlife, including fish, birds, and turtles.
