Turkey Creek
Dam & Dike Conservancy District
Water Level Management for Lake Wawasee, Syracuse Lake, and Lake Papakeechie
About the District
The Turkey Creek Dam and Dike Conservancy District was formed in 2021 to manage and maintain lake water level control structures affecting three lakes in Kosciusko County. These structures include the Huntington Street Dam and the proposed Dike improvements on the western edge of Lake Wawasee. These structures are crucial to maintaining water levels – keeping the area safe for activities and preserving the value of lakeside properties.
