Indian River

Indian River may refer to the following:

Indian River (Lanark County)

The Indian River is a river in Lanark County in Eastern Ontario, Canada. It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin and is a left tributary of the Mississippi River.

Indian River (Muskrat River watershed)

The Indian River is river in Renfrew County and Nipissing District in Eastern and Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It is in the Saint Lawrence River drainage basin, and is a left tributary of the Muskrat River.

Indian River (Delaware)

The Indian River is a river and estuary, approximately 15 mi (24 km) long, in Sussex County in southern Delaware in the United States. The river is named after a Native American reservation that was located on its upper reaches.

The Indian River rises approximately 2 miles (3 km) southwest of Georgetown and flows east, past Millsboro, its head of navigation. It enters Indian River Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean south of Cape Henlopen. The lower 6 miles (10 km) of the river form a navigable tidal estuary stretching westward from Indian River Bay, which is protected from the open ocean by two sand bar peninsulas. East of the bay is its mouth, the Indian River Inlet. Until 1928, the Indian River Inlet was a natural waterway that shifted up and down a two-mile (3.2 km) stretch of the coast. Dredging kept the inlet open in its current location between 1928 and 1937, and in 1938 the United States Army Corps of Engineers built jetties that hold it in place.

Roads cross the river in three places, at U.S. Route 113 (in Millsboro), Delaware Route 24/ Delaware Route 30 (also in Millsboro), and Delaware Route 1 (at Indian River Inlet in the Delaware Seashore State Park). With the Indian River Inlet in a fixed place beginning in 1928, it became possible to build a bridge to span it, and the completion of the Ocean Highway (present-day Delaware Route 1 and now known as Coastal Highway) between Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach in 1933 prompted Delaware to build a span to connect the northern and southern segments of the highway. Since 1934, six bridges have spanned the inlet, all known informally as the Indian River Inlet Bridge, although all but the first officially were named the Charles W. Cullen Bridge. The fifth bridge was considered structurally deficient due to tidal erosion. This bridge was scheduled to be replaced in late 2011. , the current Indian River Inlet Bridge was opened.

Indian River (Florida)

The Indian River is a long brackish lagoon in Florida, and is part of the Indian River Lagoon system, which in turn forms part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

It was originally named Rio de Ais after the Ais Indian tribe, who lived along the east coast of Florida, but was later given its current name. The Indian River extends southward from the Ponce de Leon inlet in New Smyrna Beach in Volusia County southward and across the Haulover Canal and along the western shore of Merritt Island. The Banana River flows into the Indian River on the island's south side. The Indian River continues southward to St. Lucie Inlet. At certain seasons of the year, bridges have tended to impede the flow of red drift algae, resulting in an odor of hydrogen sulfide in the area.

Indian River (Alaska)

Indian River ( Tlingit: Kaasda Héen) is a roughly eight-mile long watershed that flows through the community of Sitka on Baranof Island in the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska.

Indian River was named in 1826 by Russians colonizing the Sitka area as Reka Koloshenka. This was translated in 1883 to the English title used today.

Indian River is a large salmon-spawning stream. The river terminates in the heart of Sitka National Historical Park and passes the Alaska Raptor Center. The river extends about five miles into Baranof Island before splitting into two branches. A trail follows the southern branch to a viewpoint of a 21 meter waterfall. The river carries a large volume of water relative to its watershed due the extremely high rainfall of the Baranof Island area.

Indian River played a vital role in the Battle of Sitka with the impenetrable Tlingit fort sitting just adjacent to the mouth of the river.

Indian River (New Hampshire)

The Indian River is a 12.8 mile long (20.7 km) river located in western New Hampshire in the United States. The river is a tributary of the Mascoma River, which in turn flows to the Connecticut River and ultimately Long Island Sound.

The Indian River rises in the southern corner of the town of Dorchester and flows south in a broad valley to the west of Mount Cardigan. At the town center of Canaan, the river turns west and shortly ends at the Mascoma River.

For its south-flowing portion, the Indian River is followed by New Hampshire Route 118. From Canaan to the Mascoma River, U.S. Route 4 is close by.

Indian River (poem)

"Indian River" is a poem from Wallace Stevens's first book of poetry, Harmonium. It was first published in 1917. Absent from the first edition of 1923, it appeared in the second edition of 1931. It is in the public domain.

The linked prepositional phrases oblige the reader to construct complex visual images of the Floridian scenes, and the focus on jingling in each sentence brings sound to the images as well. The similarity of syntactic structure in the first three sentences induces an almost hypnotic effect, like repetition of a mantra. The final sentence may betray the poet's diffidence about the prospects for renewal, as in Depression Before Spring, or, as Cook suggests, it may simply reflect Stevens's belief that Florida had no spring.

Indian River (Moose River)

The Indian River of the Moose River Plains is one of many rivers of the same name in the Adirondack Park. This particular river starts in Brook Trout Lake in the West Canada Lakes region of the southwest Adirondack Mountains. Traveling downstream, it picks up the Cobblestone Creek coming in on its left, just before it forms the Green Stillwater, a 1/2 mile long flatwater section at the base of Indian Mountain. Then the river forms a series of rapids for a half mile or so before it slows and forms what is locally called the Big Eddy, a deep pool where the river makes a hard left. After this, the outlet of Mountain Lake joins the Indian from the left, only 50' below what once was the first crossing of the Indian, a log bridge that loggers constructed back in the 1960s, in order to bring their logs out to market from the deep woods. The bridge was destroyed by authorities in the 1970s, about when the Indian was declared a wild river by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Now the river again drops down a series of rapids, and picks up the outlet to Horn Lake and Ice Cave Creek, both from the left, as it bends around right. Horn Lake sits at about 2301' in elevation, in a high bowl, and has no inlet. Horn still holds fish brook trout, the Horn Lake strain from after the ice age, an acid rain tolerant strain.

The rapids continue for a while, and then pass the second crossing, another logger's bridge that was destroyed. This cut off the road to Horn, and to Cahans Farm, an old homestead way back in the woods below Ice Cave Mountain, and on the way to Canachagala Mountain and Natural Hatchery Brook. Once the river passes this second crossing, it's all flatwater for over a mile, with Stink Lake Mountain to the left, as it winds its way to the Moose River. It soon is joined by the outlet of Beaver Lake, the largest lake in the Plains themselves. Now over a few short rapids in the backwoods, past a small island where every season the deer cross on their way to the wintering grounds (the yard), the Indian river has wound its way through the backcountry that French Louie traveled in his time, and she finally spills into the Moose River, a mile or so above Rock Dam.

Indian River (reserve)

Indian River is a First Nations reserve on Lake Rosseau surrounded by Muskoka Lakes and close to the unincorporated community of Port Carling, Ontario. It is shared between the Chippewas of Rama First Nation and the Wahta Mohawks.

Indian River (Manistique River)

Indian River is a tributary of the Manistique River on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the United States. It rises out of Hovey Lake at on Hiawatha National Forest land in Alger County and flows south and east through a lake district and on through Schoolcraft County. The river flows into the 8,659 acre (35 km²) Indian Lake at and flows out at . It then flows east and south about 2.5 miles where it merges with the Manistique River, which then flows through Manistique and into Lake Michigan at .

Major tributaries include the Little Indian River, Murphy Creek, Big Murphy Creek, and Smith Creek.

The Indian River is a National Wild and Scenic River, with designated "Scenic" and designated "Recreational". This river is popular with paddlers although the section from Hovey Lake to Doe Lake is not maintained for canoes or kayaks and requires a lot of portages. From Doe Lake to Indian Lake is periodically maintained for clear passage by the forest service, but portages may still be required due to the abundance of dead-falls.

Indian River (Mullett Lake)

Indian River in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan is a waterway in Cheboygan County that flows from Burt Lake at to Mullett Lake at . The unincorporated community of Indian River is named after the river.

The river is part of the great Inland Waterway of Michigan, by which one can boat from Crooked Lake several miles east of Petoskey on the Little Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan across the northern tip of the lower peninsula's "mitten" to Cheboygan on Lake Huron.
