Williams Dam to Hindostan Falls
-
Day One:
The 22.8-mile section between Williams Dam and Shoals take-out is a seven hour float.
This section of the river passes by LaSalle Spring, a sulfur water spring. In addition, a large eagle's nest (approx. 6 feet in diameter) can be seen near the islands.
The put-in is located at the Williams Dam State Fishing Area on State Road 450. Put-in facilities include a concrete ramp, campgrounds and parking lots.
Primitive camping is available on river's edge. White River Outfitters has lots available.
Day Two:
The 13.5-mile section between Shoals and Hindostan Falls is a 6½ hour float. The river meanders between heavily vegetated banks lined with maples, willows, sycamores and cottonwood trees. Hunting and fishing are permitted at Martin State Forest with fishing at Boggs Creek Recreation Area.
This section of the river passes along Beaver Bluffs, south of Shoals. Beaver Bluffs is a public area (owned by the Indiana Heritage Foundation) that is open to hiking. If canoeing on through, the falls are quite dangerous and should be portaged between launching ramps.
TOTAL: 36.3 miles
