RIVER CONDITIONS HAZARDOUS
The Kankakee River from the Illinois/Indiana state line to the confluence of the DesPlaines River and Illinois River is closed until further notice.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources [IDNR] announced Thursday the river would be closed to recreational vessels starting that evening. The closure impacts the portion of the river that runs through Will, Grundy and Kankakee counties.
It was determined navigation on the river is hazardous due to swift current, floating debris, submerged structures and high water conditions.
