Ancient civilizations settled alo ng our rivers because of the rich diversity of plant and animal life\, and access to trading partners. Early pioneers settled here not via wagon tra in\, but by canoes and flatboats. Millions of migratory birds use Illinois rivers as flight patterns. Today\, we still rely on rivers for drinking w ater\, transporting goods and nature-based recreation.\n\nThe vital link b etween the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico flows across Illinois\, from the increasingly clean Chicago River to the resource-rich Illinois River to t he mighty Mississippi. The Illinois River\, its tributaries and all of Ill inois'\; rivers and streams - big and small - are the lifeblood of our nation.\n\nOn the weekend of September 20-21\, a statewide celebration of these precious resources will occur in towns across Illinois. The Annual & quot\;It'\;s Our River Day"\; will feature dozens of activities and events promoting recreation\, conservation and education about Illinois r ivers.\n\nThe ISA encourages you to hook up with a few fellow anglers befo re fishing and make it a point to carry out a few bags of trash and any ot her items polluting your favorite waterways. That smallmouth on the end of our line is much more satisfying when we realize we helped keep it'\;s home sustainable and clean.\n\nKankakee River Update\nThis event is resch eduled for Saturday Oct 4\, 2008 from 8AM until 1PM.\nPlease check in at t he concession stand at the Kankakee River State Park as originally planned .
