In 1924 Carl O. Dixon and his wife, Minette, purchased the lake property with visions of creating a family swimming and picnicking park. They renamed the lake Winnepesaukah after a Native American word meaning “bountiful waters” or “beautiful lake of the highlands.” Opening day on June 1, 1925 attracted 5,000 guests.
Thrill rides were added throughout the years and after 6 years of planning, in 1967, the Cannon Ball Roller Coaster debuts and becomes world-famous.
In 2013, SOAKya Water Park opens and becomes the largest expansion in Lake Winnie's history!
The amusement park is still a favorite today!
