About

The Mississinewa River originates in Ohio before taking a 100-mile journey west and north to the Wabash River near Peru in Miami County, Indiana. Its drainage area occupies an area of about sixty square miles. The river flows through a low, flat, wide valley and its water is shallow at normal stage and comparatively clear, except during prolonged heavy rain. Falling 3.3 feet to the mile, the Mississinewa is one of the swiftest streams in Indiana. The village of Chief Shepoconah once stood along the Mississinewa. His wife was Frances Slocum, who was captured from her Pennsylvania Quaker family
