About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Grant County sits in north-central Indiana where flat agricultural land meets the Mississinewa River corridor and Mississinewa Lake, a Corps of Engineers reservoir that anchors the county's best public hunting ground. White-tailed deer thrive in the agricultural landscape, staging on corn and soybean fields bordering the lake's wooded fringe. Waterfowl hunters capitalize on the reservoir during fall migration, making Grant one of the more well-rounded public-land counties in this part of the state.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling agricultural land bisected by the Mississinewa River; Mississinewa Lake provides the primary topographic relief and major water feature in otherwise level terrain.

Hunting pressure

Moderate; the reservoir draws hunters from across north-central Indiana but its size disperses pressure effectively and mid-week outings offer genuine solitude.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide license; Indiana antler restriction requires a second antlered deer to have four or more points on one side.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting on Mississinewa Lake is productive during fall migration with ducks and Canada geese using the reservoir heavily; wild turkey occupy the wooded river bottoms and lake fringe timber.

Highlights

Mississinewa Lake provides some of the best public-land hunting access in north-central Indiana; agricultural food sources bordering the lake produce well-nourished deer with strong antler development.
