Indian Lake Airport (FAA LID: 5G2) is a privately owned, closed airport located in Indian Lake, Pennsylvania, United States.

The airport was constructed in 1966 to serve the growing community of Indian Lake. In its original configuration, it had a single paved northeast-southwest runway (4/22) measuring 3,000 feet (910 m). By 1975, the northwest-southeast runway, 14/32, had been added. The original runway was abandoned by 1993, and the entire airport was closed in 1999. As of 2006, the airport was listed for sale for US$7,000,000.[1]
