Flatrock River

The Flatrock River, also known as Flatrock Creek and other variants of the two names, is a 98 mi tributary of the East Fork of the White River in east-central Indiana in the United States. Via the White, Wabash and Ohio rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River, draining an area of 532 sqmi.

The Flatrock River rises near Mooreland in northeastern Henry County, and flows generally southwestwardly through Rush, Decatur, Shelby and Bartholomew counties, past the communities of Lewisville, Rushville and St. Paul.

In Decatur County it collects the Little Flatrock River, which rises in Rush County and flows southwestwardly 23.4 mi, past Milroy.
