Indiana saw two new impoundments come into the Hoosier landscape in 1938. Two reservoirs with very similar origins, characteristics, and fates: Yellowwood and Starve Hollow Lake. Yellowwood Lake sits nestled between Nashville and Bloomington in northwestern Brown County. Totaling 130 acres, it is very scenic year-round with fall foliage vistas that are incredible. The lake and surrounding forest offers hiking, camping, paddling, fishing, birding and more. Yellowwood allows electric trolling motors but I always paddle it. However, for the non-paddle crowd, a john boat will work fine and the entire lake is easily fishable in a day.
