Know Before You Buy

Clarity has declined over the past decade, and the lake is listed as impaired under the Clean Water Act. Winona Lake has been the focus of ongoing research, monitoring, and watershed stewardship involving local lake groups and partners such as The Watershed Foundation (TWF), the Lilly Center, the City of Warsaw, the Kosciusko County Soil and Water District, and other local organizations.
