The river is impounded by the Old Lock and Dam 13 and the New Harmony Dam, which can affect the flow rate. Seasonally, the river typically experiences the highest flows during the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, while summer and fall flows are typically lower. Interesting facts about the Wabash River include that it is the longest free-flowing river in the eastern United States and was once an important trade route for Native Americans and early European settlers.
