Wildcat Creek (Indiana)

The Wildcat Creek is a creek in northcentral Indiana that is a major tributary of the Wabash River. Wildcat Creek consists of three main forks-North, South, and Middle. All forks flow in a general east-west direction through varied topography and land uses, including cropland, pasture, forest and developed areas.

The major tributaries of the Wildcat are the Little Wildcat Creek and the Kokomo Creek.

This creek would be known as a river in most areas of the United States due to its width.

The Wildcat travels through Greentown, Kokomo and Burlington before joining the Wabash River near Lafayette. Just west of Greentown, the creek becomes the Kokomo Reservoir. The Wildcat Guardians [http://www.wildcatguardians.org/index.html] a private environmental/recreational organization, works to keep the Creek free of liter and debris.

The Wildcat Creek is also a group 5 waterway below dams in Kokomo, and due to high mercury and PCB content, fish are not to be consumed west of the dam.
