Drake Harbor & Recreational Area
|
|
Drake Harbor and Recreation area was named after long time resident and Mayor of Warsaw, Gordon Howard Drake and is part of the Corps of Engineers leased property that the City acquired after Truman Dam was built.

One concrete fishing ramp and three fishing docks occupy the inner harbor area. A restroom facility is located near the ramp and two of the fishing docks are accessible from adjacent inner land areas. In 2002, a four bay boat dock was added, with a pathway leading toward the downtown. Plans for additional bays and an elevated walkway to connect are waiting funding.

The recreation area has been expanded in recent years with the help of state, local and federal funding. Playground equipment, gazebo and festival areas surrounded by a walking track are now in place.
