I had beforehand visited Kankakee River State Park a very long time in the past, however lately visited once more over the summer time with the Woman Camper group. This state park is situated close to Bourbonnais, Illinois about an hour south of Chicago, Illinois. You may see my earlier put up HERE!
This park stretches out alongside the banks of the Kankakee River. This park is widespread for bicycling as there’s a path that follows the river.
There’s a suspension bridge that crosses rock creek so not like the earlier time I used to be there, the water stage was a lot decrease. I hiked down the facet of the financial institution to the creek after which walked to the river.
From there, I headed again to my campsite which was within the Osage loop inside the Potawatomi campground. The edges had been spacious and most had timber on either side.
The one exercise that we did this time was we kayaked the Kankakee River which I actually loved. We used Reed’s as out clothes shop they usually had been nice to work with. They do have a no pets rule so Ellie needed to keep residence this journey. We floated from simply north of the Freeway 17 bridge to close Aroma park which I feel was round 6 miles and took a pair hours.
The river was calm and sluggish so this float could be excellent for households and smaller kids.
This stretch of the river additionally had properties on either side so it was actually neat to see everybody’s set ups and the way they benefit from the river.
General, I actually loved this tip and floating on the river!
