Cagles Mill Lake, also known as Cataract Lake, is a lake located near Cataract, Indiana in Lieber State Recreation Area, in west central Indiana on the borders of Putnam and Owen counties. Mill Creek flows into from the north and drains out through to the Eel River to its south, which then makes its way to the White River. Indiana State Road 42 once went through where Cataract Lake is now and currently has a new, entirely different route on the upper area from it's original route. Also located on the lake are the state's largest waterfalls, the Cataract Falls, and the Cagles Mill Dam to its north. Also a main attraction to tourists on the lake is a bald eagle's nest, where the birds return every season.
