Pigeon Creek |
 While paddling Pigeon Creek, it's
easy to forget that you are in the heart of a bustling city! First time paddlers are often amazed by the diversity of wildlife that can be
found in this urban waterway.
|
 Canoe Evansville trips offer
paddlers a different perspective
of the automobile and train bridges that cross Pigeon Creek throughout Evansville, Indiana.
|
Every trip down the creek offers a whole new adventure. From an abundance of wildlife to the constant changes in water level, you never know what to expect.

|
Pigeon Creek is a vital wildlife corridor that an abundance of
species rely on for safe foraging/migration. Without the shelter of tree cover and plant life,
as well as clean water, some
species may no longer exist in
our area.
