Indian Lake (Ohio)
Encyclopedia
Indian Lake is a reservoir
in Logan County
, western Ohio
, in the United States
. It is approximately 20 mi (32 km) southeast of Lima
. It is fed by the north and south forks of the Upper Great Miami River, Cherokee Mans Run, Blackhawk Creek, and Van Horn Creek, and, starting at the bulkhead or "spillway" (located at what is now State Route 366) built in the 1850s by Irish laborers, is the beginning of the Great Miami River
.
Indian Lake, so named because several tribes lived in the region and found the Lake area to be ideal for fishing and hunting, was originally a group of small lakes and wetlands occupying about 640 acres (2.6 km²) acres, but in the 1850s, it was turned into the 6334 acres (25.6 km²) acre “Lewistown
Reservoir” which sent water through the Sidney
Feeder to the Miami and Erie Canal
. Within a few years after its construction, the canal system became an obsolete form of transportation compared to the new and growing railways.
However, Indian Lake remained, found itself well serviced by the railways, and ever since has been enjoyed by many for rest and relaxation, fishing and boating now being the most common activities. In its early years, bass
were the prize catch for fishermen, with bluegill
and crappie
s being caught in great numbers. The Lake is stocked with fish including Saugeye
, for which it has been nationally recognized. Several major fishing tournaments are held each year, with local bass clubs holding weekly contests. Generally these follow "catch and return" rules. Ice fishing and snowmobling have grown in popularity. Colorful snowmobiles gather, often in large numbers, outside the several lake-front restaurants as their owners stop for tea and coffee with their burgers and wings.
Indian Lake has numerous islands, including the “Indian Isles” chain that arcs through the center of the Lake, expansive wildlife areas accessible by a network of channels. numerous inlets and bays, and approximately 30 miles of shoreline. The actual lake, and adjoining Oldfield Beach (the end point of a several mile, lake-front biking/walking trail), Moundwood and Lakeview Harbor boat ramps, marinas at Moundwood and at Cherokee Campgrounds, and other greenspaces including Pew Island, are managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources as part of the Ohio state park system. Popular state walking trails are located, in addition to the one ending at Oldfield Beach, at Pew Island and at the Cherokee Campgrounds.
A song by The Cowsills
during the 1960s is claimed by Indian Lakers to be about their lake, but others contend it was actually about a lake by the same name in New York
State. However, in the many years of The Cowsills being popular, they visited regularly and they (the Cowsills) say “the song is written about our favorite place.”
The Lake calendar begins with Jimmy Buffett weekend on the first week of February, with the annual Boat Show the first weekend in March. An ever-growing fireworks display, part of July 4 observances, is witnessed by hundreds of boats as well as a crowds along the shores. The “Ring of Fire”, on the Sunday evening of Labor Day weekend, by lore extends an Indian tradition in celebration of the harvest. Some event, whether a restored Chris Craft boat show, a fishing tournament, or charity “poker runs” around the Lake occurs on almost every summer weekend. Other lore includes an abandoned lead mine under the Lake, and use of the north side of the Lake and the dancehall by the Chicago mobsters in days gone by.
In its early days extending into the middle of the last century, the Lake was primarily a destination resort, with many waterfront cottages being lightly built primarily for summer use. Many knew of it as the location of the amusement park with its roller-coaster and other rides and it dancehall, discussed below. Today while still busiest in the summer, the Lake finds its shores dotted with many new beautiful, permanent homes; its older cottages have been delightfully remodelled.

, a funhouse
, boat excursions, and a boardwalk to Sandy Beach Island for swimming.
A major attraction was the Minnewawa Dance Hall. With two bandstands and room for hundreds of couples, the park claimed it was the largest and best dance hall in Ohio. Famous musicians such as the Paul Whiteman
orchestra or Rudy Vallee
orchestra packed in the crowds. Sandy Beach was a great success even during the Great Depression, and hosted many dance marathons in the 1920s and early 1930s. The 1931 National Endurance Dance Marathon, held in Minnewawa, lasted an incredible 80 days, 2 hours! When a fire destroyed much of the wooden structures of the park in 1935, the park was sold to new owners who quickly invested $100,000 in rebuilding, including replacing Minnewawa Dance Hall with the Moonlight Terrace Gardens. Crowds continued to come through the 1950s. Over 100,000 attended the 1953 Ohio Sesquicentennial celebration at Indian Lake.
The park and dancehall began to deteriorate and decline in the 1950s. The park was re-named "San Juan Amusement Park" inspired by a vintage neon sign "San Juan Hotel" located near the park's entrance. On the evening of July 4, 1961, rowdies at Russells Point bars across the street started fighting - and before the evening was over, there was a riot involving nearly 500 youths. For nearly a decade, there were repeats of the Independence Day
weekend riots, with families choosing to go someplace safer, and motorcycle gangs electing to show up and participate. The park management fought back, increasing their security budget, and when it appeared that they had turned the corner on the violence, they renamed the park as Indian Lake Playland in 1967. An illuminated slowly revolving statue of the Virgin Mary was erected at the park in 1964 adjacent to the lake in an effort to bring families back. The statue,still locally maintained remains there to this day.
But large, modern new parks at Cedar Point and Kings Island, each within about a two hour drive, drew away customers. Seeing the success of Disneyland in Anaheim, California
, investors in Sandusky, Ohio
made massive investments in Cedar Point
in the 1960s. In 1972, the Taft family relocated the rides from Coney Island amusement park on the banks of the Ohio River to Kings Mills, Ohio
, where they provided the start for a major new theme park known as Kings Island
. The Indian Lake park bought a second roller coaster, one of the popular Ben Schiff "Wild Mouse" coasters, but it was to no avail. The park sold the steel coaster and was replaced by a giant multicolored steel slide before it closed down in 1975. The wooden coaster and other rides continued to deteriorate and sit idle until the park was razed in 1982 after the property was purchased in 1981. Many of the dismantled kiddie rides and other park memorabilia were auctioned off prior to the park's demolition.
The park was divided by a channel, the entrance to the Russells Point harbor, with a bridge connecting both sides. The bridge, now without a floor, is the sole nostalgic reminder of the park and is the "arch" depicted in the accompanying photo.

Sandy Beach Park
A major part of Lake history is the amusement park and dancehall once in Russells Point, which allowed the Lake to tout itself as the "Midwest's Million dollar Playground". Pappy Wilgus, a Russells Point resident, built Sandy Lake Amusement Park, which opened to the public on May 29, 1924. It was promoted as "Ohio's Million Dollar Playground" and the "Atlantic City of the West." They erected a 2000' "out and back" wooden coaster, built by National Amusement Device Company, known variously as "Coaster", "Thriller", "Big Dipper" and "Silver Streak" through the years.
