Indiana whitewater - Potato Run, Harrison County

Harrison county, Harrison Crawford Forest Horse Camp to Mouth of Ohio River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II(III)     2 miles
  The scenic beauty of Harrison County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Indiana is often easier than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you won't find many other paddling spots. Potato Run doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Harrison Crawford Forest Horse Camp to Mouth of Ohio River section
    is the only one. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in
your car. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The Harrison Crawford Forest Horse Camp to Mouth of Ohio River stretch of Potato Run is 2 miles long and it is classified as a class I-II(III) section by American Whitewater.
