Indiana Lake is a man-made fishing lake located in East Flanders in Belgium, near the towns of Ghent and De Pinte. The lake lies within the drainage basin of the Scheldt River, one of the major rivers of Belgium that flows into the North Sea. Although it is situated relatively close to the river, the lake is not directly connected to it. The water body was formed as a result of sand and gravel extraction. After mining activities ended, the excavation pit gradually filled with groundwater and precipitation, creating a deep artificial lake. Today the lake covers roughly 10 hectares and reaches depths of up to about 12 meters. Indiana Lake is managed primarily as a fly-fishing water and is known for its clear water and steep banks, typical of former gravel pits. The fish community is dominated by stocked trout, mainly rainbow trout and occasionally brown trout, making the lake a popular destination for fly anglers.
