My FavoritesInformation
The Kankakee is a gentle Class I river ideal for first-time canoeists.
The Kankakee River takes a leisurely path from its origin to a point near Wilmington, Illinois, where it joins the DesPlaines River to form the Illinois River. Long acclaimed as one of the cleanest rivers in the Midwest.
