Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area

Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area offers a boat ramp access point to Lake Everett in Fort Wayne. The area encompasses 3,546 acres of managed wildlife habitat with 650 acres of lakes and impoundments, providing a scenic setting for paddlers and boaters. The landscape features flat to rolling upland fields transitioning to oak-hickory woodlands, creating a naturalistic paddling environment.

**Access and Regulations:** Lake Everett is restricted to electric motors only, making it ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and quiet boating enthusiasts. The boat ramp is maintained as part of Indiana's Fish & Wildlife Area system. Boating access is supported through fishing equipment and motor fuel purchases, so plan accordingly for your visit.

**Best For:** This site works well for recreational paddling, fishing from a kayak or canoe, and exploring a managed lake ecosystem. The electric motor restriction keeps the water quieter and more suitable for paddlers seeking a peaceful paddling experience away from high-speed boats.
