When the water is low, you might have to pull your canoe in certain points. Shortly after Muncie, the river gets deeper and makes canoeing easier. In low water, you will have to portage at the dam of the sewage disposal plant. The banks of the river are lined with cottonwood, river birch, sycamore, oaks and maples. There is plenty of Birdwatching and wildlife to be observed along the way. Fishing is good and the catch of the day is largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, perch and crappie.
