Big Pine Creek (Indiana)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Big Pine Creek is a creek in northwestern Indiana. It begins in Round Grove Township in southwestern White County and flows generally southward some 51 miles through Benton and Warren counties before meeting the Wabash River near the town of Attica.[1] The lower section of the creek from Rainsville to the Wabash is popular with canoeists, particularly during the spring when the water is at its highest, and affords many scenes of natural beauty where one can observe local flora, fauna and geology.[2]
The source of the Big Pine Creek is located at 40°35'56" North, 87°00'49" West (40.59890, -87.01350).
Its confluence with the Wabash is at 40°17'53" North, 87°15'10" West (40.29800, -87.25265).
[edit] Tributaries
Numerous smaller streams feed the Big Pine Creek, of which the most significant are (from north to south):
- Little Pine Creek (Benton County)
- Mud Pine Creek
- Spring Branch
- Fall Creek
