News Release

WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Convention and Visitors Bureau has released a new digital passport called the Waterways Challenge Passport. Kosciusko County has over 100 lakes, as well as rivers, streams and creeks, and this free passport lists some of the public access points for boats and kayaks as well as public beach areas.

If passholders check-in at three locations, they win a waterproof phone case from the Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams. If they check-in at six or more locations, they will be entered into a grand prize drawing for a ride on the Grace College boat or a kayaking trip for two people with Tippy River Adventures.

This grand prize drawing will take place on Aug. 26.

This passport is the seventh free, digital passport KCCVB has created. The other six passports include Trail Blazer Challenge, Public Art Trail Challenge, Adventure Challenge, Taco Trail, Breakfast Trail, and Sipping Trail Passports. Many of these passports offer entry into grand prize drawings for $150 in Kosciusko Cash for checking in at just five locations. The three food-related passports have also recently been revised, with each participating restaurant now featuring a four-digit PIN in their window for easier check-in. You can sign up for the Waterways Challenge Passport and the other passports here on the KCCVB’s website.

For more information about the over 100 lakes in Kosciusko County, visit the Lilly Center for Lakes & Streams Lake Directory, available on its website and also in print at the Visitor Center.

“We are thrilled to launch this passport highlighting one of Kosciusko County’s biggest assets, its lakes and waterways! Our goal is to encourage visitors and residents alike to go enjoy our lakes this summer season and make memories out on the water,” said Laura Seney, marketing and communications director at KCCVB.
