Barbee Chain of Lakes. This is a chain of seven small lakes situated
just West of SR 13 and South of the town of North Webster. A public ramp
is available on the North side of Kuhn Lake and is accessible from SR 13.
The speed limit on these lakes is 10 mph (except Big Barbee - open speed
limit) due to their size. Also, Grassy Creek is accessible from these lakes
at the North end of Sawmill Lake. Boaters must pass through a tunnel and
through a set of locks to access Tippecanoe Lake (the ramp on Grassy Creek
is on the Tippy side of the locks). Boats under 16' in length can use the
manual locks; pontoons and bigger boats cannot reach the locks due to the
tunnel under the road.
