A group is being formed to foster the Kankakee River as a National River Water Trail and area residents are being welcomed into its fold.
The 133-mile long Kankakee River received the National River Water Trail designation in 2016. It is one of only 22 National River Water Trails. The water trail system was established to protect and restore America’s rivers, shorelines and waterways and conserve natural areas along them, and to increase access to outdoor recreation on shorelines and waterways.
