Distance: At 3 miles this section takes
about 1-2 hours to float.
River Features: Wildcat Creek downstream
of the confluence of the North and South Forks changes
in character, and the creek's flow and width are nearly
doubled. Canoeists can expect to encounter sand and gravel
bars either exposed or forming riffle series. Shortly
after passing under the Eisenhower Road bridge you will
find the Peters Mill take-out on the left bank. It is
clearly marked by a wood dock and steps up to the parking
lot.
Hazards: From here to the Wabash River
you need to be careful around any fallen trees and logjams.
They may not look like much, but there is more flow here
since the North and South Forks have joined, and the current
can easily sweep you into a logjam.
