Lake Lemon, the 11th largest lake in Indiana, comprises 24 miles of shoreline in the northeastern part of Monroe County. It was created in 1953 by damming the Beanblossom Creek, as a water source for Bloomington but was replaced in that capacity less than 20 years later by the much larger Lake Monroe. The Indiana University Aquatic Center is on the shoreline, as is the Little Africa Wildlife Viewing Area, a popular place for bird watching.

Riddle Point

is a nice area to go for picnics and swimming, with a small parking charge. A shelter is available, as is Tulip Trace Trail, a nature walk maintained by local scouts. To reach Riddle Point, drive out on SR 45 east to Unionville. Turn left on Tunnel Road and go all the way to the end.
