Paddling near Fort Wayne, IN


Set in Allen County, Fort Wayne grew at the confluence of three rivers — the St. Joseph, St. Marys, and Maumee — giving paddlers urban, residential, forested, and agricultural corridors inside the city limits. The Maumee begins here and runs 137 miles to Toledo, while Cedar Creek, a state-designated Scenic River, sits just 15 minutes from downtown.
