Little Turkey Lake is a 58-acre natural lake located approximately one mile west of Hudson, Indiana in Steuben County. It has a maximum depth of 30 feet and an average depth of 13.7 feet. The lake has three inlets, Smathers Ditch, Conrad Ditch and an unnamed ditch. Both Smathers Ditch, which is the main inlet, and Conrad Ditch enter Little Turkey Lake on the east shore while the unnamed ditch enters on the south shore. Turkey Creek is the outlet for Little Turkey Lake. It is located in the northwest corner of the lake and flows northwest into Lime Kiln Lake.
The majority of the shoreline of Little Turkey Lake consists of woods. There are homes on the lake but the property owners have done little to alter the natural shoreline. Pasture and croplands are present but are buffered from the lake by wooded strips.
