Winona Lake, located in a town with the same name, is the prettiest lake in Indiana. Reader's Digest says Winona Lake isn't just known as a beautiful body of water, but also a top-notch place where the fish are biting and the vibes are just right:

This small slice of heaven has roughly 570 acres of water, perfect for fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking, sailing, and more. Anglers will find an abundance of perch, bass, and bluegill in the lake’s watery depths, which stretch to 79 feet and have an average depth of 30 feet.

Winona Lake also offers a lakeside boardwalk and numerous green spaces for enjoying the views. Winona Lake Limitless Waterpark features family fun with a beach, splash pad, playground, and picnic areas.

16 Indiana Towns with Dirty-Sounding Names

A majority of these towns were given their names in the mid-to-late 1800s as settlers making their way across the country found unclaimed plots of land and decided to make them their own. While I imagine they thought the names they came up with were innocent, and perhaps a tribute to something in their lives, pop culture has warped our minds to the point since then that we can't help but think of something about the town that was never intended by its founders. Take a look at this list. I guarantee there's at least one name that will make you chuckle.
