Rotary Tour des Lakes
Cycling Around Kosciusko County Lakes
Since 2011, the Rotary Tour des Lakes has brought together cyclists, families, volunteers, nonprofits, and community organizations for one of Northern Indiana’s most scenic summer traditions.
Each July, hundreds of riders travel through the heart of Kosciusko County, pedaling past sparkling lakes, shaded country roads, vibrant small towns, and beautiful trail systems that showcase the very best of our region.
More than just a bike ride, Rotary Tour des Lakes is a community experience. Riders are welcomed by energetic volunteers, local nonprofits, and cheerful SAG stops along the route, creating an atmosphere that is both encouraging and unforgettable.
Proceeds from the event help support the continued growth and development of the Syracuse-Wawasee Trail system while also benefiting local community projects and nonprofit partners throughout the region. Together, we are investing in outdoor recreation, healthier communities, tourism, and meaningful local connections that continue long after the ride ends.
Whether you are a first-time family rider or an experienced cyclist tackling the 100K route, Rotary Tour des Lakes offers an incredible opportunity to experience the beauty, hospitality, and spirit of Kosciusko County.

K21 Health Foundation
The Rotary Tour des Lakes is presented by the K21 Health Foundation. K21 is a private foundation that focuses on opportunities to improve health and wellness for the citizens of Kosciusko County. This focus has its roots from the origin of the assets of the foundation being from the non-profit hospital that was established in 1967. The sale of this hospital did not end the intent of the original donors.
