Paddler’s Guide to the St. Joseph River

Thanks to a generous grant from I/N Tek & I/N Kote, and the work of Ethan Sauer, Karla Cruise and Eureka Cartography, the Michiana Watershed is pleased to announce that an updated paddler’s guide to the St. Joseph River is now in publication.

Clicking on the thumbnails of either the map or cover below will open larger jpeg versions (about four or five megabytes, respectively), but the printed versions are of considerably higher quality. Please get in touch with us if you would like a copy!
