Deep River flows through the Calumet area of Indiana, one of the most heavily industrialized regions in the world. The river corridor is surprisingly primitive but occasionally suffers from pollution. Much of the adjacent land is in agricultural or residential use but because of the heavily vegetated banks, most of these intrusions are not visible from the river. A point of interest is the old mill dam located just south of the 1-80, 94 bridge. (Indiana DNR Canoeing Guide)
