The trip from Pigeon Street Bridge in Ligonier to Co Rd 1175 at the Noble County line takes 1 hour and 40 minutes of steady paddling. When the river flow at the Cosperville gauge reads over 200 cubic feet per second fallen trees can be easily maneuvered around through this stretch of river. If it is lower than 180 it will be much more difficult to get around the trees.

Pigeon Street Access
From Pigeon St. to Woodlawn Park is 15 minutes. The takeout is 75 yards past the water treatment plant discharge on the left by a grassy opening. Woodlawn Park is another good place to put in.
Woodlawn Park Access
From Woodlawn Park it is 10 minutes to the River Rd takeout. The takeout is marked by a “No Dumping” sign along the road. The railroad bridge is 35 minutes further. Access here is easy, but a good parking spot is not available. The Co Rd 1175 takeout is 40 minutes past the railroad bridge. There is no bridge, just the old abutment on the left side.
The River Road access is difficult to see. If you have a vehicle waiting there it might be easier to sight
