Paddling Trips in the Wildcat Creek Watershed |
|
|
The
main-stem of Wildcat Creek (aka The North Fork) is canoeable throughout
its entire 82-mile length. The "Lower Valley" (downstream from
Burlington) is included in the Indiana Natural & Scenic Rivers System,
and is one of the finest year-round canoeing streams in the Mid-West.
The "Upper Valley" is more developed, but still holds many pleasant
paddling opportunities.

The
South Fork of Wildcat Creek is equally popular as a canoe trip destination,
except during extremely dry summers. The 10-mile reach downstream from
Dayton is also a component of the Indiana Natural & Scenic Rivers
System.

Several smaller tributaries are canoeable only during wet weather, and can be attractive alternatives. However, these streams have never become popular destinations due to limited access and other problems. Use the overview map below to chose your destination. Click on the text of your choice and you will advance to pages with specific information. If you click fails to lead you to another page, well, we just have not got that far yet. |
