Description
Indian Lake is a small lake along Route 1 between Whiting and East Machias. From 1922 into the 1940s, the Indian Lake Inn was a destination for locals and travelers alike.
It had a dance hall, restaurant, gas pumps, and a small boat landing. About 1930, as automobile touring was growing popular, a few overnight cabins, just visible at the right, were added.
The inn was partially destroyed by fire in the 1940s. The large part of the building was not rebuilt, but the smaller section was salvaged and continued to house a restaurant and dance hall for a few years.
