Mississinewa Lake is a scenic reservoir with historical significance—its name derives from the Miami Indian word "Mis-chis-in-wah," meaning "water on a slope." The lake provides a good paddling destination with access to both the reservoir and river sections. When planning your visit, be aware that the Old Frances Slocum Trail and certain county roads on the north side of the lake near Frances Slocum State Recreation Area are currently closed, which may affect some access routes to the area.
Before heading out, contact Red Bridge Marina directly for current conditions, facility hours, rental availability, and any additional information about water conditions or access details specific to your paddling plans.
