About the Lotawana News

The Lotawana News has been part of life at Lake Lotawana since 1933 — almost as long as the lake itself.

For more than 90 years, the paper has documented the people, traditions, events, and stories that make this community unique. From summer ski shows and sailing regattas to city updates, local businesses, and family milestones, the Lotawana News helps keep the lake connected.

Today, the paper reaches approximately 2,000 readers twice each month through direct mail delivery throughout the Lake Lotawana area. The Lotawana News remains independently owned and locally operated by the Runkle family.
