How many lakes are in the Chain O' Lakes system?

While there are 13 kettle lakes within the park boundaries, 9 of them are interconnected, creating the famous 'Chain' that boaters can navigate through narrow forested channels.

What is the Indiana Trail 100?

Commonly known as the Heritage run, the Indiana Trail 100 is a premier ultramarathon event held at the park, featuring 100-mile, 75-mile, and 50-mile distances across the rugged glacial terrain.

Trail 12 is a standout favorite, offering 3.5 miles of moderate hiking through deep ravines, over streams, and across beautiful ridgelines that showcase the park's glacial history.

Chain O' Lakes State Park - 9 Lakes, Infinite Adventures

Chain O' Lakes State Park: The Heartland of Indiana Lake Country

In our own backyard here in Albion, Chain O' Lakes State Park stands as one of the most unique natural landscapes in the Midwest. While the park protects 13 distinct kettle lakes, its claim to fame is the 9 interconnected lakes that allow for a seamless paddling adventure through ancient glacial channels. Whether you are tackling the grueling Indiana Trail 100 (our local Heritage ultra-marathon) or finding solitude on the ridgelines of Trail 12, this park is a sanctuary for those who love the "Real Indiana."

⚔️ Professional Grade Clean for the Lake Life

Living behind the park means easy access to the trails, but it also means the "Great Outdoors" often hitches a ride into your home. At Chem-Dry of Northeast Indiana, we understand the specific challenges of Noble County homes.

Trail 12 Soil Extraction: The rugged terrain of the park is beautiful but contains a mix of silt and clay. Our HCE process carbonatively lifts this grit out of your carpet fibers before it can act like sandpaper on your flooring.
Ultra-Marathon Recovery: If your home is the staging ground for a Heritage Trail run, we can deep-clean your upholstery and carpets to remove the sweat, dirt, and allergens that accumulate during peak training.
The "9 Lake" Freshness: Lake water and damp gear can lead to stubborn odors. Our P.U.R.T. process doesn't just mask lake and pet smells—it destroys them at the molecular level.
