About This Access Site
Located in Columbia City, Whitley County, the Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area provides public boat ramp access to Round Lake. This is a free access site managed by Indiana's Division of Fish & Wildlife—no lake-use permit is required. The ramp accommodates various watercraft, making it a convenient launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters exploring the lake.

Round Lake is restricted to electric motors only, so it's an ideal destination for quiet paddling and fishing. While specific amenities at this particular launch aren't detailed in available records, the site is part of Indiana's public access program, which has been providing free recreational opportunities since 1953. Paddlers should contact the Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area directly for current conditions, parking details, and any seasonal access information.
