About This Access Site
French Post Park in Delphi offers a convenient concrete DNR boat ramp for accessing the Wabash River. This is a well-developed park facility suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boats, with ample amenities including a shelter house, picnic tables, playground equipment, and water access. A portable toilet is available on-site, making this a practical staging area for day trips or longer paddling adventures.

The Wabash River is a major waterway flowing from Ohio through Indiana to the Indiana/Illinois border, where it joins the Ohio River. At Delphi's location in Carroll County, paddlers can expect a significant river with moderate current characteristics typical of central Indiana. This access point serves as a good launch location for exploring the middle Wabash, with opportunities for both upstream and downstream paddling depending on current water conditions and your skill level.
