Mississinewa Lake is a 3,180-acre lake that is surrounded by unspoiled, scenic beauty and is a well-known destination for fishers and hikers alike. Located along the Mississinewa River, Mississinewa Lake, also known as the Mississinewa Reservoir, means “water on a slope,” reflecting the rich Native American folklore and history that run deep in this region. The lake contributes towards flood control in the Upper Wabash region, in conjunction with J. Edward Roush Lake and Salamonie Lake. It also provides a myriad of year-round recreational activities, ranging from fishing and fly-fishing, hiking, and horseback riding to sunbathing and swimming on plenty of beaches, canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking and camping at one of the hundreds of campsites in the area.
