Data notes: 1 access point is more than 0.1 mi from the mapped line; its river mile is where it meets the line.

Sources: river line and lengths from NHDPlus V2 via EPA WATERS (lengths scaled to each reach's published length); access points from Indiana DNR Public Access Sites, OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Only access points in our launch data are shown, so there may be others. Check access, dams and conditions before you go.
