We continue our journey along the Kankakee River, this time we are farther upstream in Indiana at the Grand Kankakee Marsh. An areal view of the Kankakee shows that Indiana has straightened the river while the Kankakee River in Illinois is more natural. This hike is long at over 7 miles but is mostly a straight line along a dirt two-track road. Watch out for ticks on the grassy trails. 

Located on the historic Kankakee River, the 1,952-acre Grand Kankakee Marsh County Park is a natural habitat for deer herds, many duck species, and other wildlife. There are many recreation opportunities at the Marsh like hunting, fishing, and birding.
