Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation plans morning cruise on Crooked Lake
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
The morning hours on our local lakes provide a great opportunity to enjoy the scenery -- the calmness of the water, glimpses of the waterfowl and fish.
This Saturday, September 18, a unique opportunity to enjoy a little time on the water is being presented by the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation.
Join guests from other lakes in the watershed as they participate in a guided tour of Crooked Lake in northern Whitley County. In addition to a guided tour of the lake, all participants will enjoy catered food, drinks, and enjoyable conversation during and after the tour on the lake.
"We hope you will join us for this special opportunity to visit and learn about the unique features and concerns of a sister lake in our watershed," said Lyn Crighton of the Tippecanoe Watershed Foundation.
Spanning 206 acres, Crooked Lake reaches a maximum depth of 107 feet and is the first lake in the headwaters of the Tippecanoe River's watershed. The lake features a primarily natural shoreline and hosts a nature preserve. Considered one of the cleanest lakes in the state of Indiana, the lake's no wake speed and residents' commitment to water quality are contributing factors. More than 175 homes dot the shoreline.
The event is free for participants, but pre-registration is required to ensure ample accommodations. Space is limited.
Guests should plan to arrive at Big Lake Church of God at 10:25 a.m. and park in the gravel lot. They will then be picked up by bus and transported to boats. The event will conclude around 1 p.m.
