The Story of Lake County Fish & Game                         and the Benefits of Membership Our association was formed in 1920 and has the distinction of being the oldest conservation organization in the State of Indiana.  A few men with futuristic vision, recognized that our natural resources and game habitat needed protection from exploitation by ruthless and selfish interests.   Conservation measures and laws were needed to protect fish, wildlife and the environment.  Fostering understanding and trust between sportsmen and the general public.  While developing public support for conservation efforts were the initial steps toward accomplishing this.   Such efforts continue today as the Lake County Fish & Game Protective Association provides support for the protection of wildlife and the environment through donations to organizations such as the Nature Conservancy District, Sierra Club, Greater Kankakee Grand Marsh Restoration, to name a few. We invite you to join our friendly, family-oriented, conservation-minded association.  We offer 40 acres of secure, peaceful, green country side with 17+ acres of prime fishing waters.  A covered pavillion and a large clubhouse.  We are located at 2000 E.
