Roush Dam Access

Roush Dam Access provides a scenic overlook of J. Edward Roush Lake and the Wabash River dam, with two pavilions available on a first-come, first-served basis for picnicking and gatherings.

The tailwaters below the dam are a popular fishing destination, and the paved road crossing the dam accommodates RVs with no height restrictions. Additional boat ramps and recreational facilities are located nearby at Kil-So-Quah Recreation Area (off U. S.

224) and Little Turtle Recreation Area, offering access for both motorized and non-motorized watercraft.
