The Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area offers boat ramp access to Aldrich Lake and spans 12,134 acres across northeastern Indiana, including 17 miles of the Pigeon River and 529 acres of lakes and ponds. Multiple boat ramps are located throughout the property, making this a convenient access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters. Electric motors are permitted on lakes and ponds. Note that canoeing and kayaking are allowed but may be restricted during waterfowl season—contact the office ahead of your visit for current restrictions.
Paddlers should be aware that basic facilities are available, including pit toilets at the park headquarters and Curtis Creek Trout Rearing Station. The nearest amenities with gas and supplies are in nearby Mongo, Indiana. Swimming is prohibited at this site. There are no paved trails within the Fish & Wildlife Area, so plan accordingly for your visit.
