Indian Harbour Lake is a highly desirable lake on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. The lake is clean and deep enough to enjoy many water activities. If fishing is your favourite pass time, there are trout and bass to catch for dinner. Swimming is excellent. Refreshed at its south end by tidal currents the lake is great for kayaking, canoeing or boating.
