Cobus
Creek
Cobus
Creek is one of the few cold water trout streams in Indiana. The
cold water, wooded banks and gravel bottom is ideal for supporting
trout. Unfortunately the stream was diverted in the past reducing
it’s quality. A stream restoration project is currently
underway to help improve trout
habitat.
