Wabash River

A new trail project connecting Lafayette and West Lafayette over the Wabash River opened Wednesday.

Efforts are underway to build a massive, multi-billion dollar research and industrial park near Lebanon, Indiana. But as the project has grown, questions are being raised by both residents and the leaders of neighboring cities about what the project will look like - and what kind of resources it will require.

A developer is moving ahead with a $20 million project on a site overlooking the Wabash River that will become Peru’s largest housing development in decades.

The study's findings mean that Peru has Indiana's highest proportion of properties at risk of flooding, and that it ranks 8th in the state for overall total properties at risk.

The Indiana Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program seeks to improve water quality by creating buffers and wetlands aimed at reducing pollution from sediment, nutrient, pesticide and herbicide losses from agricultural runoff into watersheds near the Wabash and White Rivers.

A proposed 90-mile pedestrian and bike trail along the Wabash River in northern Indiana is moving deeper into the planning stages.

The planning work includes studying the potential of a trail running from the Logansport area, southwest through Lafayette to around Covington.

The Lincoln Memorial Bridge carries traffic between Lawrence County, Illinois, and Vincennes, Indiana, where the Wabash River span is part of the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park.

Cass County officials on Friday acquired 104 acres of donated land just southwest of France Park, which spans 550 acres and offers swimming, camping, trails, disc golf and other activities.

The hiking and biking trail will eventually run from Huntington, through Wabash, and to Peru, linking scenic overlooks while providing access for canoeing, camping and fishing.
