River hazards

Low-head dams drown people every year: the current below the drop circles back and holds a swimmer or a boat at the face. Portage around them; stay well clear above and below.

  • Low-head dam, at this launch: Spring Street Dam. · Indiana DNR low-head dams
  • Low-head dam, 3.8 mi upstream: Blackiston Mills Dam, 10 ft. · Indiana DNR low-head dams

Up to 10 river miles each way, from the agencies' inventories; not every hazard is listed and rivers change. Scout before you go.
