Barbee Lake Chain in Indiana

July 29, 2023 – Traveling with Rich & Julie

One of my brothers lives on Kuhn Lake in Indiana. Kuhn Lake is part of the Barbee Lake Chain. The Barbee Lake Chain is made of seven interconnected, natural lakes: Big Barbee Lake, Little Barbee Lake, Kuhn Lake, Irish Lake, Sawmill Lake, Sechrist Lake, and Banning Lake. This chain of lakes was formed by retreating glaciers during the Pleistocene era as were most of northeast Indiana’s lakes.

We are scheduled to leave the area on Monday and wanted to get up to his place to visit before we left.

The view of Kuhn Lake from his backyard is nothing short of magnificent. Kuhn Lake is small and the boat speed is idle only. It is the perfect fishing lake, and is so relaxing to sit and people watch. All of the lakes on this chain are idle speed except Big Barbee.

We visited on a great day. It was Pirate Weekend on the lakes and we saw some cool boats decorated like pirate ships.

Cruising around the lakes at idle speed is my second favorite place to be. My first favorite of course is cruising around the country in the RV.

What a great way to end our summer with family. Tomorrow will be spent preparing to head west. Thanks for reading and following us on our adventures. Bookmark and stop in often to see where we are at and where we have been.
