Hardy Lake, originally named Quick Creek Reservoir, is an Indiana state reservoir in Scott and Jefferson counties, Indiana. It is located four miles (6 km) east of Austin, Indiana and north of Louisville, Kentucky. It is the smallest reservoir maintained by the state of Indiana, measuring of total property, and of surface area for the lake. The lake is approximately deep.〔Indiana Department of Natural Resources, 〕 Hardy Lake is surrounded by other state and federal properties. Fifteen miles to the north is the Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, 12 miles to the northeast is Crosley Fish and Wildlife Area; 15 miles to the east is Clifty Falls State Park; 20 miles to the south is Clark State Forest; and 20 miles to the west is Starve Hollow S.R.A. ==Creation== The reservoir was constructed in 1970 by damming Quick's Creek. The state hoped the reservoir would provide a stable source of water for nearby communities in Scott County. The lake's water elevation does remain at a stable level, unlike the water elevations of most reservoirs. The dam that creates the reservoir is an earth filled dam, high and wide, downstream of of drainage area. The reservoir is now used as a back-up source of water for the Stucker Fork Conservancy District, whose primary source of water is the East Fork of the Muscatatuck River. When Hardy Lake was completed, Indiana governor Otis R. Bowen hailed it as part of his goal of having a park controlled by the state of Indiana within driving distance of every Hoosier. Hardy Lake is part of a statewide system of reservoirs created during the 1960s and 1970s by the state of Indiana and the United States Army Corps of Engineers.〔(DNR - Division of Fish & Wildlife: Hardy Lake )〕〔Indiana Department of Natural Resources, (2008 Indiana Recreation and Fishing Guide ) pg.23〕〔Hardy Lake Pamphlet〕〔Bowen, Otis R., (Doc: Memories from a Life in Public Service ) (Indiana University Press) pg.124〕
