On the river

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, 0.4 mi downstream: Wildcat Creek Dam (In-Channel) (partial: does not span the whole channel), 4 ft. · Indiana DNR low-head dams
