CANOED THIS ROUTE JULY 1/2006. WE PUT THE CANOE IN AT WARSAW AND ENDED OUR TRIP TO THE SOUTH IN KEENE. THE RIVER LEVEL IS VERY LOW, I WOULD SAY THAT WE ENDED UP WALKING THE RIVER FOR ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE DISTANCE (MAYBE MORE). THE SCENERY WAS GREAT THOUGH, LOTS OF WILD LIFE (DEER, MINK).
We paddled this route in mid May and found the top half brutal. The river is so shallow from Dummer Lake to the Warsaw Caves that we ended up walking most of the way lining the canoes along. Many residents have built small retaining dams across the river requiring multiple "mini" portages to get over them. South of the Warsaw Caves to Highway 7 is a little more reasonable but is still a shallow, frequently obstructed river. Definately not for a novice.
I would only recommend canoeing this route in the early spring. I Kayaked from Warsaw caves to Hopes mill and there was barely enough water south of highway 7 to navigate.
just wondering if snyone knows if canoeing the indian river from warsaw, to keene can be done in a day or atleast from, hwy 7 down keene, we thinking trying it only have a day available to do so thanks jason

We did this trip in early June and loved it. Prince Andrew did the trip in 2007 so how tough could it be?

Start at the legion in warsaw and end at highway 7. It's deeper and will take a day to paddle.
