Prides Creek covers 90 acres in Pike County, in the scenic hills of southern Indiana. The nearest city is Petersburg. The lake supports 5 documented species including Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Black Crappie, and more. DNR bathymetry data helps anglers identify productive structure and depth transitions — last surveyed in 2016.
