Big Walnut Creek Access

Big Walnut Creek Access in Putnam County provides canoe and kayak put-in opportunities, with McCloud Nature Park (8518 Hughes Rd, North Salem, IN 46165; 765-676-5437) recommended as the primary access point offering better conditions than the County Road 900 E bridge location.

The creek is best paddled March through June when water levels are adequate, featuring moderate stream flow with only occasional riffles suitable for novice to intermediate paddlers, though a dangerous dam exists just upstream of Highway 231 in Greencastle that paddlers must avoid.
