Problems
I think the history section tends to understate the history of the lake. Anyone with information should contribute. Lancetruthhammer 22:00, 8 February 2009

Much of this article remains uncited. I know that a great deal of the information here comes from official publications (such as pdfs released by they WACF). However, the pdf at the bottom of the page appears to no longer be a valid link. The information about water clarity also appears to be rather old information.

This should probably be merged with the Wawasee History page, there is no reason why a lake like Lake Michigan has its entire history section on the main page and Wawasee does not. There is no reason for this. The articles are redundant.

Request for Added Sections
I noticed that the WACF recently posted new pdfs on their site. These deal with topics like water quality, wetland restoration, invasive species, fish populations, etc. I think this could greatly enhance knowledge about the lake if it were summarized here. I am working on it, but if anyone wants to pitch in I would appreciate that very much.

I also thought that it would be good to add a section about the development of the Syracuse-Wawasee Trail. I realize this might be borderline travel-brochure-ish, however, as it will affect portions of the lake (i.e. the construction of a boardwalk and a pedestrian bridge) I think it is relevant.

Griffiths Wawasee Marina
Here's some really heavy useless and incidental knowledge!

Somewhere in here I read that Griffiths Marina was founded in 1946 but I remember as a 10 year old kid that guys in the neighborhood went to what was then called "Ross's Boatyard" (Now Griffith's) to work on their boats. I remember conversation about whether or not this new guy (Griffith) would do as well as Ross who was apparently pretty popular with men who had been away for the war, suggesting that "Ross" had been there since well before the war. Larry Griffith has apparently passed the test 173.24.174.17 (talk) 05:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
