Lake Monroe Indiana's Natural Wonder

A rigorously researched and unassailably factual documentary about Monroe Lake, or as everyone actually calls it, Lake Monroe. This ancient body of water is among the oldest and most ecologically vital lakes in the United States . . . of America.
Lake Monroe is older than the Smoky Mountains, plant life, and disco. the lake's water gets its chocolatey, but also milky color from runoff from the former Fatty's Fiddle Faddle production plant. The factory produced chocolate covered popcorn and peanut clusters marketed by actor Fatty Arbuckle. large amounts of a slurry made of a combination of bitter chocolate bean water and and sweeter sheep excrement, both byproduct of the manufacturing process, were sluiced directly into the lake. Even today much of its milky brown coloring is a result of the pH imbalance caused by the runoff. It also requires that much more aggressive filtration systems be implemented before water from the lake is pumped in and used by the nearby community of Bloomington.

The Army Corp of engineers made the lake. It's a reservoir. The lake is fed by salt creek. They actually shut down the town of Elkinsville to build the reservoir..

The town that Time forgot. I mean you know this is satire, right? right? or has all that coyote meat rotted your gourd?

I spotted the elusive chocobo during our last expedition at Lake Monroe, it was late fall and the season's chill tightened its grip and our ship became ensnared in thick ice. Stranded, we wintered in the remote depths of North Fork. As the grip of winter finally loosened and spring breathed life into the frozen landscape, a chocobo ventured from the forest's edge for a drink. Its plumage shimmered against the thawing world-a truly magnificent creature.

a rare and breathtaking experience, even that strange deep autumnal stench the lake emanates can't detract from the the childlike wonder an experience like that imparts.

Well this was recommended to me and it had me for a bit. I was like, "Glaciers? What? I thought it was man made . . . 38 degrees? What? My in laws claimed they used to water ski there, they would die in that water . . . . 7th largest lake in the country? WTF? . .. "

This is exactly what I was after, thanks for the comment!

My family goes every year just to see the chocobo’s. Navigating all the hectors of water and all the Asian carp is a task but we do it.

You left out the historical fact that Christopher Columbus ordered his second captain Luis Fairfax to later sail La Pinta to find inland rivers. Fairfax and crew finally terminated their trip in lake Monroe taken in by the hospitality of an isolated matriarchal tribe of the Miami. The crew never returned and lived long and happy lives recreating with the native women. The location of this settlement is still along the banks of Monroe Lake today and was named by the state of Indiana as the Fairfax recreation area.

absolutely colossal oversight on my part. Thanks for the additional information.

Leave it to social media to publish such bull. Ugh

[@tylerlake7821]

"publish" lol. Kills me how many of you don't get a bit of a goof. You are the people who went into a bunker after an Orson Welles radio program.

[@madefromabove8662]

This is not a natural lake!!!!! People just make up stories that make live easier for them.

[@tylerlake7821]

I mean it says Indiana's Natural Wonder right there in the title, enough said. I do wish you would not come into my comments and misinform my viewers. Next thing you are going to say is that the earth is flat or that we landed on the moon.
