Reviews
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoBeautiful northeast Indiana lake, north of Kendallville. It's so hard to find Indiana lakes that aren't "muddy", due to the amount of clay throughout most of the soils. Big Long Lake, however, is an exception. The lake bottom appears to be more sandy (though weedy) while the lake water itself is crystal clear most of the time, as it is a spring-fed lake - one of Indiana's cleanest. Kayaking around the lake on a weekday, I found myself able to follow some of the fish just by looking into the water. Swimming was a delight. Weekends, the lake turns into a madhouse of speedboats, fast pontoons, souped-up john boats, tubers, skiers, and other gas-powered toys, resulting in lots of propeller-chopped weeds washing ashore, much of it replanting the pulled up roots. Fishing was pretty good, too! I pulled up a number of 10" or so Bluegill. Also caught my biggest largemouth bass right off the dock.
- ★★★★★about 2 years agoGolden Bachelor star Gerry Turner has previously discussed details of the lavish lakeside property that features a boat deck and panoramic views of the waterfront of Big Long Lake.
- ★★★★★over 6 years agoThe well-priced houses on Big Long Lake are just one of the many things that Big Long Lake has to offer. You could tube, swim, water ski, and many others. The sunsets and sunrises are beautiful, especially with the smooth surface of the water reflecting the sky.
