Wabash River Trip – Lafayette Area – Aug. 29, 2026

This year’s paddle will go from Davis Ferry Park to Granville PAS, about a 13-mile trip. We have done this section a few times; it seems to be popular, and we usually see eagles, great blue herons, and other birds along this stretch. If someone wants a shorter trip, they can cut about 4 miles off the trip by getting out at Fort Ouiatenon Park.

Meet at Davis Ferry Park (3900 N 9th St Rd, Lafayette, IN) at 9:30 am. We should be ready to run the shuttle around 10. To get to Davis Ferry Park from the Indianapolis area, take I-65 towards Lafayette. At exit 178, take ramp right for IN-43 toward West Lafayette. Turn left onto IN-43, heading south. Turn left onto Burnetts Rd., it should be the first road to the left after you are on IN-43. Burtnetts Road soon comes to a “T”, turn right onto N. 9th St. Rd. After you cross over the Wabash River, Davis Ferry Park will be on the right. Here is the intended shuttle route: Shuttle Route to Granville Public Access Site.pdf

Bring lunch and drinking water in addition to your normal paddling gear. The HCKC requires those participating in Club events to wear a PFD at all times while on the water.

If you have not done so for this year, PLEASE FILL OUT THE NEW E-WAIVER.   HCKC is moving to a new electronic waiver system instead of our old paper waiver.  This only needs to be completed once each year.  If you have already submitted your e-waiver, you do not need to do it again until next year.  If you are bringing a non-member guest, they should use this e-waiver.
