Wildcat Creek Natural Scenic River in Indiana

WILDCAT CREEK ACCESS POINTS
North Fork

Pe-Che-Wah Access Site

Location: The Pe-Che-Wah Access Site is located by the State Road 213 bridge over Wildcat Creek, about 1.5 miles south of Greentown (US 35) and 2.5 miles north of SR 26. Creek access is downstream (west) of the bridge on the right (north) bank. A gravel lane north of the bridge leads to the access site and parking area.

Parking: There is a paved parking lot for 5-10 vehicles, though there is little shade.

Path to River: From the south end of the parking lot it is a moderate 15-20 foot dirt slope to the river.

River Access: There is room to load/unload about 4-5 boats at a time. It is a decent place to linger while dealing with boats or shuttling of vehicles.

This access site does have a trash can. Hiking/mountain biking trails also leave from the parking area. This access site is managed by the Kokomo/Howard County Park & Recreation Dept.

There is also a picnic area located across the creek (south of the bridge) on the SW corner of the road and the river (downstream of the bridge on the left bank).

Important: The river is constantly changing. Hazards like log jams and tree falls will come and go, so always be ready for them. Riffles will appear and disappear based on water flow levels. Do not attempt boating on this or any river during high water. Please be safe, respectful and responsible on the river.
