Owned by Marina Limited, the only public launch facility on the reservoir charges $20 during the week and $35 during summer weekends, and those are entirely private profits. “But when you add an annual lake fee on top of it, it’s not worth it.”
“It wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t already paying launch fees of $35 each time,” added Bob Fulling, a member of the West Indy Bass Club. The boating fees also are to fund their budget,” McDermott said. This is basically an additional property tax to afford the district the money to dredge, treat aquatic plants and maintain the lake. “Many home and business owners are opposed to it because they were not informed at all. Its board also could impose taxes of $130 annually for in-district homes valued at $300,000 and $412 a year for million-dollar homes. That’s especially true, many bass fishermen believe, since the district could levy an annual out-of-district fee of $250 and an in-district fee of $125 for anyone who uses Geist for fishing or boating. “The residents here have been paying for it with donations, with some giving and some not.”Īs petitions gathered thousands of signatures in opposition to formation of the district by late April, McDermott countered, “It seems absurd to put the health of the lake in the hands of a few without input from people outside Geist, who make up a good number of its users.” “Recreational boaters have never been asked to contribute to the lake they use,” said attorney Matt Troyer. The Geist Lake Coalition wants to become a state-sanctioned conservancy district so that it can mandate taxes and fees to guarantee a budget for maintenance of “water-based recreational purposes.” The aging 1,890-acre impoundment on Fall Creek has ongoing problems with sedimentation, algae blooms, and invasive plants such as Eurasian watermilfoil, but remains a popular destination for bass fishing and other outdoor recreation. Fishing The most popular game fish of Geist Reservoir include largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill.

The reservoir is located primarily in the northeast corner of Indianapolis and the southeast corner of Fishers, but small parts reach into the nearby towns of Lawrence, Fortville, and McCordsville.

It was constructed in 1943 by damming Fall Creek to provide water for Indianapolis. Geist Reservoir is a reservoir in the northeastern part of metropolitan Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.
