ALLOWABLE launches are on the map below. You must enter and exit the river from these designated locations.
Allowable water is any water that can be accessed via kayak without portaging or trespassing (know rules for non-navigable water) with the exception of the water highlighted in red below. Additionally, there are allowable portages around the Riverwood Dam and the Kessler Street Bridge.
The northern boundary is Morrow’s Meadow Park in Yorktown. Southern boundary is defined as Riverside Park in Indianapolis.
