The Galena River[3] is an 8.5-mile-long (13.7 km)[4] stream in northern Indiana in the United States. It rises in the northeast corner of Springfield Township, about 5 miles (8 km) north of LaPorte in LaPorte County and flows northeast. Just after it crosses the state boundary into Three Oaks Township in Berrien County, Michigan, it is joined from the east by Spring Creek to form the South Branch Galien River.[5] After becoming the Galien River in Michigan, the river ultimately flows to Lake Michigan in New Buffalo.
