The North Branch Dam blocks fish migration and is dangerous for paddlers. Once the boat house is done and the dam removed, the park will be an even better canoe and kayak destination.
Since 1979, Friends has been working to improve the health of the Chicago River system for the benefit of people and wildlife and by doing so, has laid the foundation for the river to be a beautiful, continuous, easily accessible corridor of open space in the Chicago region.
