 The
Wabash is the largest of the Indiana rivers. It flows from the borders
of western Ohio across northern Indiana from east to west before heading
south along the border between Indiana and Illinois before flowing into
the Ohio River. It passes many towns, and cities along its route, including
places like Terre Haute, Lafayette, and Vincennes, but for the most
part the Wabash River runs through farmland.
The Wabash is acknowledged as one of the major float streams of Indiana,
but it has not experienced any significant development for recreational
canoeing, so shuttles will need to be of the self-service variety. While
most of the canoeing sections of the river have a fairly gentle gradient,
and moderate year-round rainfall in the region provides easy floating
with little to no rapids, there are some remnants of old lock and dam
structures with debris and rocks that must be negotiated carefully. |
