Monroe Lake is located about 10 miles southeast of Bloomington, Indiana. It is the largest lake in Indiana with 10,750 acres of water. Because of its close location to Bloomington, there are plenty of hotels and restaurants nearby, which is different from most of the other popular lakes in this state. Monroe Lake is very popular among fishermen and boaters. This lake has been stocked heavily in the past and as a result, the fishing is very good for largemouth bass, crappie, hybrid striped bass, walleye and bluegill. You can also catch smallmouth bass and catfish.
