Lake History
Factoid: Monroe Lake: while this area of southern Indiana is known as the "The Limestone Capital of
the World," at one time it also had several salt deposits, creating a lucrative trade by
rafting the mined salt down the creek that would one day become Monroe Lake. Hence the
name, Salt Creek.
