People who love to canoe say it’s the best ride in Illinois – the fast-flowing Kankakee River. The 11-mile stretch that flows through Kankakee State Park is the best place to go. You’ll discover 4,000 acres of river islands, forests and limestone bluffs.
Reed’s Canoe Trips makes it easy for you. They’ll drive you to the river, put you into the water, then pick you up and drive you back to your car when you’re done.
Scuba divers call Haigh Quarry the “Caribbean of the Midwest.” People from 7 different states travel to the Kankakee quarry for perfect diving conditions (and a taste of the tropics). With palm trees and Tiki Huts, the dive venue has the feel of Florida.
You’ll also find architectural treasures in Kankakee. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bradley House is a world treasure. Wright scholars say it’s the place where the famous architect created a new style – the “Prairie Style” of architecture that would become his hallmark. And starting this July, the newly renovated Bradley House opens up to the public.
Kankakee’s Barn Quilt Tour is wildly popular. You’ll see beautiful quilts and historic century-old barns that are part of the county’s rural heritage.
