Wabash River

The Wabash River is a major waterway in the midwestern United States, flowing approximately 475 miles through Indiana and Illinois before joining the Ohio River. It serves as an important natural resource for transportation, recreation, and wildlife habitat. The river's watershed covers a large area, providing water for cities, agriculture, and industry. It features diverse ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, and floodplains. Historically, it was vital for Native American communities and early settlers for travel and trade. Today, the Wabash River continues to be a key environmental and economic asset for the region.
