Wildcat Creek
About
Through Tippecanoe and Howard counties, Wildcat Creek runs 95 miles of Class I-II water at 380 CFS average, with optimal flows between 150-600 CFS on gauge 03335000. The Burlington to Owasco section covers 20 miles of the creek's best rapids, while the upper stretch from Kokomo to Burlington tightens through rockier terrain over 25 miles. Below Owasco, the final 15 miles widen as the creek approaches its confluence with the Wabash near Lafayette. Wildcat Creek holds candidate status for Indiana's Natural & Scenic River system. Wildcat Creek Outfitters services the drainage for paddlers looking for guided trips or gear rental.
River conditions are community-verified. CFS ranges, difficulty ratings, and access points may not reflect every flow level or seasonal change. Always check current conditions, scout unfamiliar rapids, and paddle within your skill level.
