We’ve established the following launches as allowable launch locations for our event on the Tippecanoe River on April 29. You may fish any water WITHIN THE TIPPECANOE RIVER that is accessible from these launches. Tributaries and Lakes Freeman and Shafer are NOT allowable waters.

The southern boundary for the Norway -> Dodge Camp section is the 421 bridge. Below is an interactive map we’ve put together. Each of those locations should have a bit of additional information about that launch. All of these are free public launches with the exception of the River Junction/Confluence access, which is $5 pre-paid at the launch.
You can launch and take out at the same location, but each of these steps MUST be one of the allowable locations.
