East Fork of the White River in Martin County
Length - Approx. 35 miles
The East Fork of the White River enters Martin County from the west from its intersection with US 231/Indiana State Road 45 on the southwest corner of the county. For about one mile the East Fork of the White River forms the county line with Dubois County. About a mile after it leaves the county line the Lost River flows in about a mile south of Abel Hill Road from Orange County from the east. The East Fork of the White River flows past Abel Hill Road for perhaps a half mile before meandering first northwest, then mostly north. No roads border it until it reaches Hindustan Falls southwest of Shoals. The river takes a westward tack, then bends towards the north, then east finally flowing through Shoals. Few roads border it along this stretch until it reaches Shoals. North of Shoals West River Road follows it for a ways before veering away. In the east side East River Road follows it for a while. East Fork of the White River doesn't flow through any more towns in Martin County. On the east side Old South Cabin Lane and Williams Road follow it for a time. On the west, later north, side Indiana State Road 450 follows it for a while. It exits Martin County, entering Lawrence County, returns briefly to Martin County and finally leaving for good about a mile south fo Indiana State Road 450.
The river is a wonderful place to canoe and fish during the summer. there are two canoe routes, both having terminus' at Hindostan Falls. For most of its journey through Martin County the East Fork of the White River flows through forest or agricultural land.
