About This Access Site
Pine Grove SRA offers boat ramp access to Lake Monroe, Indiana's largest lake at 10,750 acres. Located 10 miles southeast of Bloomington in Monroe County, this recreation area is one of nine DNR-managed access points around the reservoir. The ramp provides a good launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the expansive water. Note that water levels and ramp conditions can vary seasonally—recent reports indicate the ramp has remained open, though flooding may occasionally affect road access during high water periods.

The Pine Grove site offers basic amenities and is part of a larger recreation complex with multiple activities available including fishing, hiking, and picnicking. If you're planning an extended trip, Blackwell Campground is available nearby (reservable). For current conditions, water levels, or facility details, contact the interpretive center or call 812-837-9967 before your visit, as conditions can change with weather and lake levels.
