Indian Lake, Worcester
General Information Indian Lake is a 204-acre Great Pond situated in the northern part of Worcester between Interstate 190 and Route 122A. Indian Lake has a maximum depth of 19 feet with an average depth of 8 feet. The waters are turbid, often with a brownish or greenish tinge resulting from high levels of dissolved nutrients and periodic algal blooms. The bottom is muck and rock and the shoreline is heavily developed with residential dwellings and commercial buildings. Indian Lake is subject to a historical drawdown during winter, thus, water depths may vary.
Recreational Access The city of Worcester manages a paved boat-launching ramp (71°48'58.56"W 42°17'35.70"N) in Morgan Park, off of Grove Street (Route 122A) in Worcester. The parking area can accommodate approximately 20 cars. Due to extensive shoreline development, shore fishing is limited to areas in Morgan Park, adjacent to the ramp, Shore Park located off Shore Dr. on the lake's northern shore, and the Indian Lake Beach at 20 Clason Rd. Please contact the city of Worcester for additional information and/or restrictions pertaining to public access of Indian Lake.
Fish Populations The following fish species were found during MassWildlife surveys: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Black Crappie, White Perch, Yellow Perch, Brown Bullhead, Yellow Bullhead, Common Carp, Golden Shiner, Banded Killifish, and White Sucker. Please check the Massachusetts Division of Fish and Wildlife Northern Pike and Tiger Muskellunge online stocking page for stocking information.
Fishing Indian Lake supports an ample panfish population, especially of Black Crappie, which provides plenty of recreational fishing opportunities. Good sized Yellow Perch and White Perch are also commonly caught. Common Carp are also abundant and average between 5 and 10lbs. Most of the Carp in Indian Lake appear to be of the “mirror” variety, displaying only a few large scales. Carp put up an excellent battle and can provide plenty of excitement when hooked on light spinning tackle. Indian Lake has produced Northern Pike, White Perch and Black Crappie that meet minimum sizes for recognition by the Freshwater Sportfishing Awards Program.
