Notes

The river is very high--the lower bank is flooded--and moving fairly quickly.

Location description
At this site, the Kishwaukee South Branch runs between a wooded bluff and a lower, wetter woodland. There is a bridge connecting the two banks, as well as flat spaces on both sides from which people sometimes fish.
