Hours of Operation
Sunrise to sunset

Interlake State Recreation Area (ISRA), former coal mine land straddling Pike and Warrick Counties, is now open as a multi-use recreational facility.  Interlake is approximately 3550 acres of land with three separate eras of mining and reclamation.  From steep rugged spoil banks to rolling hilly grasslands, man-made lakes and final cut strip pits, Interlake is a diverse array of topography and scenic views.

Much of Interlake is devoted to motorized OHV and equestrian trail use.  Mountain biking is also allowed.  Approximately 50 miles of trails can be found within Interlake’s boundaries.  Trails range from beginner to experienced, with multiple miles of each skill level.  All types of OHVs are allowed, 4×4, ATV, UTV, dirt bike, and home-built.  All trails are designed for a minimum of two user types.  For example, dirt bikes and horses share trails, as do, 4x4s and ATVs.  The middle of the property has several wide easy trails with good visibility – these trails can be used by anyone.

Trails are not the only recreation available at Interlake.  Fishing, hunting, hiking, non-motorized or electric motor boating, trapping, and dog training are also allowed.  Currently the entire property is open for these activities,

Interlake is a day use property without amenities.  There are no restrooms, water fountains, trash receptacles, or other improvements.  Property development is expected to begin by 2010 with improved roads, parking, and restrooms being the first items on the list.
