East Fork White River
Quick Summary
The East Fork White River is a significant tributary of the White River in Indiana, United States. It originates from the convergence of streams near Columbus, Indiana, and flows southwest for approximately 280 miles before joining the White River near Petersburg. This confluence marks the beginning of what is sometimes referred to as the "White proper" for the final 50 miles of its course. The White River itself rises in Randolph County and flows westward past Muncie and Anderson before turning southwestward and eventually emptying into the Wabash River. The Wabash River, in turn, is the largest southward-flowing tributary of the Ohio River.12
