About This Access Site
The Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area provides boat ramp access to Loon Lake with drive-in trailer parking, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and small motorboats. The ramp is part of a large 11,794-acre property managed by Indiana's DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife. Loon Lake is one of the few lakes in the Lakeshore area where motorboats are permitted, though speeds are strictly limited to 5 mph, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a calm water experience.

The facility supports a variety of water-based activities including fishing, ice fishing (with permit requirements), and recreational paddling. Electric motors are allowed on the lakes and ponds throughout the property. Beyond paddling, the property offers hiking trails, picnic areas, and a mix of habitats including hardwoods, wetlands, and upland fields. Nearby Martin Memorial Marsh, located on Shallow Lake, provides additional exploring opportunities for paddlers interested in natural areas. Check the property map for the specific boat ramp location and any current regulations before your visit.
