Alternative Parking for Calumet Channels: Bushnell Park

Access for the Calumet Channels from river-left is possible from Bushnell Park. Enter the south part of the park and immediately go left (southeast) to parking area for a ball diamond. Walk due south to cross through a brief wooded area to get to a dead-end stub of the White River Trail (former railroad line), then proceed west to the (gated off) bridge. A steep slope to either side will allow you to look at and access the leftmost channel(s) of the river.
