Cree Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Noble County, Indiana, United States.[2]

Geography

Cree Lake is in northeastern Noble County, surrounding the natural lake of the same name. Indiana State Road 3 passes through the community, following the west side of the lake; it leads south 4 miles (6 km) to Kendallville and north 16 miles (26 km) to its terminus at Brighton, 2 miles (3 km) south of the Michigan border.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Cree Lake CDP has an area of 0.73 square miles (1.89 km2), of which 0.64 square miles (1.66 km2) are land and 0.10 square miles (0.26 km2), or 13.22%, are water.[1] The lake outlet at its north end drains to Little Elkhart Creek, which flows west to the North Branch of the Elkhart River, part of the St. Joseph River watershed leading to Lake Michigan.
