The Tippecanoe River ( ) is a gentle, 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 19, 2011〕 river in northern Indiana that flows from Big Lake in Noble County to the Wabash River near Battle Ground, about northeast of Lafayette. The name "Tippecanoe" comes from a Miami-Illinois word for buffalo fish, reconstructed as '' */kiteepihkwana/''. The Tippecanoe River is fed by 88 natural lakes and has a drainage area of , spanning 14 counties. Very few streams in the upper Midwest can match the number of imperiled species or the overall species diversity that the Tippecanoe River supports. The Nature Conservancy named it one of the top ten rivers in the United States to preserve due to the ecological diversity and the high proportion of endangered species found in it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/indiana/journeywithnature/fishing-the-tippecanoe.xml )〕 ==Course== From Tippecanoe Lake in Kosciusko County, the river flows south and west through the southeast corner of Marshall County, then bends northwest through the northern part of Fulton County and through Pulaski County, from the northeast corner to the south central portion, traversing Tippecanoe River State Park along the way. It then enters White County, where dams form Lake Freeman and Lake Shafer. The river exits Lake Freeman from the south and flows through the west part of Carroll County into Tippecanoe County, where it joins the Wabash River. In addition to Tippecanoe County, five townships that the river flows through are named Tippecanoe: *Tippecanoe Township, Carroll County, Indiana *Tippecanoe Township, Kosciusko County, Indiana *Tippecanoe Township, Marshall County, Indiana *Tippecanoe Township, Pulaski County, Indiana *Tippecanoe Township, Tippecanoe County, Indiana 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tippecanoe River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
