Historic African-American resort community of Fox Lake. Nestled in country dotted with clear lakes and healthy pines, for some 70 years blacks from Indianapolis, Detroit, Toledo, Columbus, and Chicago have been coming to “The Lake.”

Fox Lake came about, as did many other black resort communities of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, because segregation prevented people-of-color from enjoying as owners or guests any resort areas frequented by whites.
