IN 2. Cedar Lake Marsh. Acreage: About 130. 



Location: Lake County; Lowell Quadrangle; at the south end of Cedar Lake. 



Description: A marsh, dominated by broad-leaved cattail, at the south end of 

 Cedar Lake. It is the largest continuous marsh in the state. 



References: Natural areas in Indiana and their preservation, p. 555-556. 



Encroachments: At the south end there is a small rubbish dump at the end of a 

 causeway, penetrating a short distance into marsh and accessible by car. It is re- 

 ported that the state pollution officials have closed this to further dumping. 

 Cedar Lake is somewhat polluted by domestic sewage, and was poisoned a few 

 years ago with rotenone because it was overstocked with small bluegills. 



Ownership: Not known.
