The Wabash River is a 503-mile-long river that flows through the Midwest of the United States, primarily in Indiana. The river was an important transportation route for Native Americans and European settlers in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the river is used for irrigation, municipal water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including the Huntington Reservoir, Salamonie Reservoir, and Mississinewa Reservoir. These reservoirs provide flood control, recreational opportunities, and water supply. The Wabash River is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The river basin is also important for agriculture, with crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat grown in the area.
