Nyona Lake is a lake near the town of Macy, Indiana, in Fulton County.

Originally known as North Mud Lake ^[1] it was renamed for Nyona Shaffer, whose family operated a cabin rental business on the lakefront in the 1920's. ^[2] Early investors in the lake's recreation business included Chevrolet founder Louis Chevrolet who operated a dancehall and refreshment stands. ^[3]

The census-designated place of Nyona Lake surrounds the lake.
