Factoid: Mississinewa Lake exists as a cooperative management effort between the Corps of Engineers and
the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Mississinewa Lake has 15,072-acres of total area
with a 3,180-acre summer pool. This makes Mississinewa Lake the 5th largest lake wholly in the
state of Indiana. The property's main mission is flood mitigation along the Mississinewa river
and the Wabash river that it flows into. The Mississinewa Lake region offers many opportunities
to enjoy wildlife or recreate in the great outdoors.
