Little Calumet River

The Little Calumet River is a waterway running through northern Indiana, mainly in Lake and Porter counties. It flows roughly southwest and joins the larger Calumet River, eventually connecting to Lake Michigan. The river is about 26 miles long and serves as a natural drainage system for the surrounding areas, helping to prevent flooding. It also supports local ecosystems and offers recreational opportunities like fishing and boating. Over the years, efforts have been made to restore and improve the river's health, addressing pollution and habitat loss to benefit both communities and wildlife.
