Lake Winnepesaukah, commonly known as Lake Winnie, is an amusement park located in Rossville, Georgia, just south of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Carl and Minette Dixon opened the park to over 5,000 guests on June 1, 1925.
They named it after the Native American word Winnepesaukah, meaning “bountiful waters” or “beautiful lake of the highlands”. The park originally featured the largest swimming pool in the southeastern United States, which debuted in 1926 and was later removed.
Its Boat Chute attraction, designed by Carl Dixon and opened in 1927, is the oldest mill chute water ride of its kind still in operation in the United States.
In its early years, the park primarily focused on its water attractions. Later, the park expanded its dry amusement ride offerings by introducing its historic carousel and well-known Cannon Ball roller coaster in the late 1960s.
Lake Winnie has grown to over 80 acres, featuring 38 rides and a 5-acre water park with seven attractions.
