My boys dragged me here. We relocated from living on a lake to living on a wooded farm. Since the move, I've been confronted daily with the request to visit the Kankakee so they can feed their fishing habit. I relented and we're slowly coming to the realization that river fishing is much different than lake fishing. (Jersey N already advised me of that, but I didn't listen)
While waiting for the fish to bite, I sat in the covered picnic area. It has a wood burning fireplace and several benches along the river to sit and eat or to just take in the scenery.
Although my oldest didn't catch anything anddddddd lost his favorite lure in a tree, we'll probably be back.
We're currently lake people but coming here more often, may create river people. read more
