Hardy Lake is a fishing lake in Indiana, managed by Indiana DNR State Parks & Reservoirs and located about 2 miles from the town of Parkers Station. The lake is an easy outing, and its shoreline is the natural starting point for time on the water. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Scottsburg weather station show May highs around 76°F and September highs around 81°F, while July and August average about 87°F. Several short trails sit close by. Lakeside Trail is about 0.7 miles away, Honeysuckle Trail about 0.9 miles, and Cemetery Trail about a mile. Paddlers can find Quick Creek roughly 2.5 miles off.
