The Historic and “Haunted” County Jail
Ghosts, goblins and ghouls, oh my! The historic county jail has been closed for decades but some “residents” apparently refuse to leave.

Family Fun at the Park at Winona Lake
The public beach at Winona Lake keeps getting better every year. With the amount of local money available, the possibilities are “Limitless.” 🙂

Explore Pike Lake
One of three lakes in Warsaw, Pike Lake is also the quietest. If you’re looking for some serenity close to downtown, head to its shores for some much needed down time.

Find Your Way to Syracuse
Kosciusko County’s second largest town is located in the middle of lake country but there’s more to do than just getting your feet wet!

Stay at a Lakefront Resort
With over 100 lakes in the county, there are plenty of places to lay your head with a view of the water. The nicest one can be found on the shores of Indiana’s largest natural lake.

Get a Selfie With the World’s Largest Egg
Head to Kosciusko County’s southwest corner and not only will you find a local air museum, you’ll find the world’s largest egg. You know you want a selfie for the ‘Gram!
