Little Calumet River/Northeastern Illinois Water Trails Celebration

Completion of 500 miles of water trails will be celebrated with a day of paddling fun and festivities along the Little Calumet River, in Gouwens Park, in South Holland, Illinois. Northeastern Illinois Regional Water Trail were developed jointly by Openlands, the Northeastern Illinois Planning Council (NIPC), and the Illinois Paddling Council (IPC). The trail establishes launch sites and signage for non-motorized boating on ten area waterways and is the culmination of more than a decade of work.

Support for northeastern Illinois regional water trails is generously provided by the Grand Victoria Foundation.
