Indiana government land fishing questions

[kickbacked]

Recently purchased onX to scout more public fishing spots in my area. I was just going around and found a bunch of public places that I was unaware of. First question does property owned by a city mean I can fish it if there’s access and there’s not any no fishing signs?

I’ve also driven past a pond going down 80/90, it’s a nice pond, and even has a pavilion. But when I got off 80/90 to check it out it’s chained and locked up. I just assumed it was private but according to onX it’s Indiana government lands. A google search comes up with nothing other than reviews saying it’s a camping/ fishing spot for toll road employees. That seems strange to me that it’s government owned land but only accessible to toll road employees. John D. Tax payer is restricted from accessing this park? The address is 52311 Co Rd 1 Granger, IN 46530, it’s called lake albert.

I use this DNR Where to Fish website. That pond is on the map, but not labeled as a place to fish

It could be a poorly signaged union perk. Kinda like the Teamsters lake north of I70 east of Indy.

Yes, this is Indiana state property. But it falls under the INDOT Toll Road property umbrella.
And being under that umbrella it, along with the other Toll Road property and facilities were leased out to ITRCC, now part of IFM.

Owned by the state but leased to, controlled and operated by a private company.

I originally found it in 05-06 which I believe predates the leasing of the toll road. It was still fenced and locked then.

Possibly. The 75 year lease was begun in June 2006.
