Patoka Lake lies within Indiana's "south zone" for waterfowl hunting. Hunters must use the self-service hunter check stations around Patoka Lake. Hunter check-in cards must be turned in daily, even if no birds are harvested. Special regulations, state and federal game stamps and licenses, and non-toxic shot are all required by law to hunt migratory waterfowl. Shooting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.

Maps for check stations, maps of the waterfowl resting areas and other information about Patoka Lake are available at the Patoka Lake main office. For more information, call (812) 685-2464 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
