A couple river birch trees (Betula nigra) can be found at Peter's Mill Landing. The river birch is native to Indiana and can be seen growing naturally on the roadsides when you travel through the Kankakee River area. The river birch is not found naturally in Tippecanoe County and these two trees were planted here years ago. River birch is commonly used in landscaping everywhere around here but this location on creek bottomland is its normal kind of habitat. This is near the boat landing spot on the creek.
