Indian Lake, Still the Scene to Make

by SeeIndianLake.Net Staff

Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one. Just keep it in mind if you're lookin' to find a place in the summer sun. Swim in the cove, have a snack in the grove or you can rent a canoe. At Indian Lake you'll be able to make the way the Indians do.

Although it may not have been the inspiration for the song, The Cowsill's 1968 theme of the same name, Indian Lake epitomized the sentiment felt by all that had ever traveled to and lived in the area, especially during the years of the Million Dollar Playground.

From the big-band era to the rock-and-roll years, 'the Park' as it is commonly known, provided live entertainment, amusement rides and games for the whole family. Millions of fun seekers found their way here from across the state and beyond, making it one of the most popular attractions in its heyday.

Although the amusement park is long gone, Indian Lake continues to attract thousands of visitors to take advantage of the small-town atmosphere and its natural beauty.
