The Heritage Trail is nearly a 2-mile path located in Kasciusko county. It is part of a larger multi-use trail called the Lake City Greenway. The trail is just off of Winona Lake and also incorporates the old Chicago Boys Club. The proximity to the lake makes it a good family outing to go swimming or for kids to enjoy the park.
Parking is available at both trailheads as well as mid-way through at Winona Lake Park on Park Avenue.
Beautiful scenery with lots of little alternate paths that branch off the main one. Well maintained, clear signs, great location
The trail passes through what the locals call Winona Village which is a small peninsula with a shop lined canal and many picturesque houses. Definitely worth exploring. There's a side trail that takes you up to Grace College. It's a mile long and goes through secluded woods with trail side sculptures. That's a mile long so adds 2 miles. You can circle the lake (i suggest going clock wise so you are always making right turns and don't have to cross traffic). The college detour and circling the lake gives you a 10 mile loop. Detour into downtown for another 2 miles. There are many nice houses along main and center streets. The courthouse and surrounding square is very picturesque.

Started from the trail head at Miller Athletic Complex; plenty of parking. Before I knew it I was at the end of the trail on Roy St. so I just rode the country roads south. Was peaceful as traffic was very light. They have several mountain bike trails which you can get to from Heritage so maybe one day I'll go back for that. Looks like Warsaw is like most cities with several trails. Be nice if they were connected.
The old trees and flowing stream provides the perfect backdrop for an afternoon walk or a quiet morning meditation.
Nice and beautiful trail. People come there for walking, jogging, dog walking, as well as riding bikes. It's next to the lake and during the summer, you can swim.
