Pike Lake is a 327-acre man-made lake located in Warsaw, Indiana. It was originally constructed in the 1830s to provide water for a nearby sawmill. The lake is fed by Pike Creek and several smaller streams, and its hydrology is managed by the Pike Lake Dam. The lake is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and swimming, with several public access points and a beach area. The lake also serves as a drinking water source for Warsaw and surrounding communities. In terms of agricultural use, the lake's watershed is primarily composed of agricultural land, which can contribute to nutrient pollution and algal blooms. Additionally, snowmelt can contribute to increased water levels and flooding in the spring.
