About
Big Pine Creek combines natural beauty with a challenge for the canoeist. Like many small streams, Big Pine Creek's water level fluctuates quickly, and usually in April and May the meltwater and spring rains rush to the creek and quickly turn it into a series of whitewater rapids. However, during dry periods and much of the summer, canoeists should avoid Big Pine Creek due to insufficient water levels. (Indiana DNR Canoeing Guide)
