Shorelines at Warsaw’s Pike Lake and Kiwanis Park recently received major upgrades, thanks to a collaboration between The Watershed Foundation (TWF) and the City of Warsaw.
Brandon Cordell, who is the MS4 Coordinator for the City of Warsaw Stormwater Utility, says the primary problem was shoreline erosion at both locations.
These updates are designed to protect water quality in Winona Lake and Pike Lake by reducing pollution from erosion, runoff, and other issues.
At Pike Lake, efforts focused on 200 feet of shoreline on the east side of the lake, adjacent to the Fireman’s Building and the campground boundary.
Kiwanis Park is located on a channel that feeds into the northwest side of Winona Lake. It serves as a public access site for boaters and is a popular spot for anglers. To protect against erosion there, glacial stones were installed along 256 feet of shoreline.
