Longview Cove planned for Indian Lake
Fifty-two custom luxury homes are planned for this new residential community located on 25 acres near O’Connor Point (1.4 miles west of State Route 117 on County Road 38). Each single-family residence will feature waterfront with a personal dock. A two-story clubhouse, heated pool with sand beach, boat ramp and private island are also slated. The developer is HBS Development, which is in the final phase of its popular Pirate’s Cove condominium project off Dunn’s Pond just east of the spillway.

AAA Great Vacations Expo
2010The weekend of January 22-24 was exciting for
the Indian Lake Chamber as they participated in
the AAA Great Vacations Expo in Columbus at
Veterans Memorial. Over 10,000 people
attended the three day show. Many Visitor
Guides and event information were given out to
people wanting information about Indian Lake.
Some had not visited the lake in over 40 years,
while others remarked, “I have a great place at
the lake!”
Visitors were interested in cottage and boat
rental information.

Coast Guard Auxiliary works to keep lake safe

The Loch Ness Monster has not yet been spotted at Indian Lake, but Phil Clem of the Coast Guard Auxiliary will probably be among the first to see it if it happens. Mr. Clem and his fellow volunteers on the Indian Lake's Coast Guard Auxiliary are always on the look out, usually for stranded boaters or distressed swimmers, during the summer season.

Mr. Clem has towed plenty of broken down boats and pulled a few wet and tired boaters aboard his boats in his 10 years of service.

Patrol on Memorial Day included two other suxiliary members: David Fries of St. Paris and Burl Shulaw of DeGraff.

The auxiliary’s mission is public education, vessel inspections, patrols and fellowship. Its 24 members don’t cite boaters, but they do try to spread safe boating practices.

While on the water the Auxiliary will remind boaters to slow down in “no wake” zones or to not swim off their boats. Crews look for boating hazards as well and will remove litter, logs and limbs.

Auxiliary members supply their own uniforms, boats and equipment. There is some reimbursement for fuel and meals, and the Coast Guard will send surplus supplies to the auxiliaries.

This will be the Indian Lake Coast Guard Auxiliary's twenty-first year at the lake. .Visit the Auxiliary's web page at http://indianlake.com/coastguard.htm
