World Peace Wetland Prairie and Pinnacle Prairie water flows to Beaver Lake through the Soup Branch, a small tributary of the Town Branch of the West Fork of the White River.
The soil in this area allows most of the water to soak in and to be cleansed before it leaves the prairie acreage and protects the lake from siltation and other kinds of pollution.
