Rossville, GA – [May 28, 2025] – Lake Winnepesaukah continues its 100th anniversary celebration! All guests of the park on May 30 and May 31, 2025, will receive a commemorative ticket, and 12 lucky guests will receive a golden ticket, which they can redeem at the gift shop for a commemorative bag and key chain. Golden tickets will be drawn at random throughout the day.
For the past 100 years, the park has been led by the women in the family, and that tradition continues.
“On May 30, 1925, the gates opened at Lake Winnepesaukah for the first time. Four generations later, we celebrate this special place where great memories are made for a lifetime,” said Tennyson Dickinson, great-granddaughter of the founders, and park director. Dickinson grew up living on the property and returned decades later to help the business “temporarily” and has continued to lead the organization for the past 26 years.
This summer, Lake Winnie continues building its 100th Anniversary Digital Mosaic. This is a one-of-a-kind tribute to the people and memories that have shaped the park over the last century. Guests are encouraged to upload their favorite Lake Winnie photos—from vintage snapshots to recent visits—which will be combined into a digital mural displayed both online and inside the park all season long, culminating in a final reveal at season’s end.
Whether it’s a childhood visit, a first ride on the Cannon Ball, or a day spent with loved ones, each photo helps tell the story of a century filled with joy, laughter, and tradition.
Guests can scan the QR code at the park or visit lakewinnie.com to submit a memory and take part in this interactive celebration.
