From its source in northern Ripley County, Laughery Creek flows ninety some-odd miles through scenic southeastern Indiana hill country and Versailles State Park, then forms the boundary between Ohio and Dearborn Counties, and finally empties into the Ohio River between Aurora and Rising Sun. Most of the watershed and creek corridor is wooded with some bottomland farming. Catfish, carp, blue gill, shad, small-mouth and large-mouth, as well as rock bass are all found in the stream. Crayfish and fresh water mussels are also common. North of Versailles State Park, the creek is gorge-like and winds hard on its way to the lake. First one bank steeply encroaches, forcing the stream bed one way, then the opposite bank rises steeply pinching it back. This characteristic has kept development in the creek corridor to a minimum and helped to preserve a wilderness flavor in the valley. South of Versailles dam, Laughery is considered on of the premier fly fishing streams in the tri-state area.
