"I "Jumped The Wabash!" The Wabash River actually begins, about a half-mile west of here, just to the south of Darke-Mercer County Line Road (The East-West Road, at this intersection), in a small Woodlot, on private land.. Here, The River is about a yard, and one-half, wide; and I would like to see, some "stepping stones" placed, here, so that people can park, here; and either "jump", or "walk across" The Wabash ( I jumped, across, and cleared it, but fell forward onto my knees, in the process) (might be a "tee-shirt" opportunity here, too). The Wabash is one of the major rivers, in The United States, that bears it's name, all the way, to its source. At its mouth, after traveling about 500 miles, and draining 40,000 square miles, in three states; it is a quarter of a mile, wide, and joins The Ohio River. It is The Ohio's second largest Tributary, by area, drained. Greenville, Ohio; was The Childhood Home, of Sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and She, and Her Husband retired to Greenville; and are buried in Brock Cemetery, about 12 miles north, of Greenville. Her Home is open, to tourists. An interesting piece, of Americana."
"Start of the Wabash river!!!!! It's pretty small here but once u get to Indiana the river it gets a lot bigger!! Over by Huntington and Wabash Indiana there are waterfalls that flow into the river!! over there like kissing falls!!"
"Small parking area but a quick history stop."
"I am so happy someone put this little park on google maps. After finding it, I felt compelled to visit. Not much to see, But if you're brave enough, you can cross "The Mighty Wabash River" in one step. It might not mean that much here, but if you live in Indiana, it sounds more impressive. lol My wife never gets tired of hearing me brag about that everytime we cross one of the bridges in Indiana where the river is a "bit" larger! A fun story I will tell every time!"
"Nice small roadside park along the Anthony Wayne Parkway. Has Historical markers covering the importance of the Wabash it's history."
