This beautiful lake within Lake Carmi State Park might be one of our bigger natural spring lakes, weighing in with a 1,375-acre surface area, but yet still will have you feeling all alone on the vast open water.

Lake Carmi is set within a natural area — an area that has been preserved — making it all the more special of a getaway. The bog, shrubs, and trees are all protected by the state to remain in their beautiful form.

This remote lake really is huge. In fact, it’s our fourth largest natural lake. Once out on the water in a kayak or on a boat, you won’t see anyone for miles.

The lake is also home to many fish including pike and walleye, so while there might not be other people around, you may find some creatures.
