Join us June 18, 2011 for The Miami County Iron Bridge Festival. Our festival consist of a canoe rally and hog roast and great live entertainment. The festival is held on the Mississenuwa & Wabash Rivers launching from the Mississenewa Spillway lower lot and finishing on the Wabash River at the West City Ball Park Peru.

Our day starts at 9:00am with the launching of our canoe rally. Paddlers from all over Indiana come to canoe the beautiful Mississenewa and Wabash Rivers and get a river rat's view of the Seven Pillars Miami County's Natural Wonder, Count numerous bald eagles and paddle along some of Miami County's historic sites like Cole Porters Home, Miami Indians Osage Village, the International Circus Hall of Fame and the Wabash and Erie Canal. Your trip will end at the Old Nickle Plate RR Bridge and the Kelly Ave Bridge. (4-6 hour trip).

Bring your own canoe or rent one from Miller's Cool Running Canoe Rental. Your family will enjoy every minute of the trip no matter what your experience level. There are check points along the way and transportation from Peru back to the spillway is provided. Upon arriving in Peru our guest will enjoy a hog roast and great entertainment  (3-5pm).

If canoing is not for you, we have a driving tour map available that will take you to our Iron Bridges (about a 1 hour drive).  Then feel free to come back and enjoy the hog roast and live music.
