Private watercraft at Griffy Lake are limited to electric trolling motors only. Launching is available only at the designated boat ramp east of the boathouse.

Griffy Lake is stocked with bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and crappie. A valid Indiana fishing license is required to fish at Griffy Lake. The boathouse does not sell fishing licenses; purchase one online or at your favorite fishing supply retailer.
