Located just north of Angola this 80 acre preserve is a community favorite. The area includes Tulip, Juniper, and Long trails, which intertwine with each other and loop back to the parking area. The reserve includes tulip, redbuds and dogwoods and some of the best old growth woods in the area. Several vernal ponds are home to peepers, wood frogs and tree frogs, as well as a variety of other wetland animals. Bird watchers can easily spot woodpeckers, several kinds of nesting warblers, wild turkey and hawks. An old-fashioned red water pump on the east side of the reserve is a much anticipated destination for younger hikers. A multitude of large downed trees, (the result of a tornado some years ago,) gives the park a mystical otherworldly appearance. Several hills make the trail slightly difficult for the inexperienced hiker. Dogs are allowed. Please carry all trash out and leave all plants and rocks for others to enjoy. The reserve is located on County Road 400 North, one mile east of State Road 127.

Loon Lake Nature Preserve

99 N 325 W
Angola, IN 46703
Contact: Ron Hellmich
The great attraction to this scenic area is the 138-acre lake which is stocked with bluegill, largemouth bass, and sunfish. Public access to the water is located on the north side of the lake. There is a trail and boardwalk to the lake, but most of the additional 99 acres of surrounding wetlands are a bit difficult to reach. The area is open from dawn to dusk.
From I-69 and U.S. Highway 20 go west and turn north at County Road 325 West. Go three quarters of a mile to the left turn in the road. Park by the cable.

Contact: Rich Dunbar
A natural lake, cattail marshes, sedge meadows, tamarack and yellow birch swamps and adjoining uplands covered with hardwoods are features of this preserve. It is an outstanding example of the original landscape in the Northeastern Morainal Lake Region. Lake Lonidaw is nestled in a depression bordered by marsh vegetation and an adjoining tamarack-black ash swamp. Other wet places support not only tamarack and black ash, but also yellow birch and red maple. The higher morainal ridges support stands of red oak, white oak, wild black cherry, shagbark hickory, and sugar maple.
