Hovey Lake Fish and Wildlife Area — photo spot in 8401 IN-69 S, Mt Vernon, IN 47620, USA
Hovey Lake Fish and Wildlife Area
Expansive marshes, shallow lakes and emergent vegetation make Hovey Lake ideal for waterfowl, shorebirds, raptor sightings and mirror-like reflections. Best at dawn and dusk — fall migration and cold mornings often bring fog and large flocks. Easy roadside access and small parking areas; boat ramp provides access to open water. No special permits for casual photography but check Indiana DNR rules for seasonal closures. Expect bugs in warm months and muddy shorelines.
