Kankakee River

The Kankakee River () is a tributary of the Illinois River, approximately long,〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed May 13, 2011〕 in northwestern Indiana and northeastern Illinois in the United States. At one time, the river drained one of the largest wetlands in North America and furnished a significant portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Significantly altered from its original channel, it flows through a primarily rural farming region of reclaimed cropland, south of Lake Michigan.
== Description ==
The Kankakee rises in northwestern Indiana, approximately southwest of South Bend. It flows in a straight channelized course, generally southwestward through rural northwestern Indiana, collecting the Yellow River from the south in Starke County, and passing the communities of South Center and English Lake. It forms the border between LaPorte, Porter, and Lake counties on the north and Starke, Jasper, and Newton counties on the south. The river curves westward as it enters Kankakee County in northeastern Illinois. Approximately southeast of the city of Kankakee, it receives the Iroquois River from the south and turns sharply to the northwest for its lower . It joins the Des Plaines River from the south to form the Illinois River, approximately southwest of Chicago.
The Kankakee River Basin drains in northwest Indiana, in northeast Illinois, and about in southwest Lower Michigan (figure 1). The Kankakee River heads near South Bend, Indiana, then flows westward into Illinois, where it joins with the Des Plaines River to form the Illinois. The area of Lake County which originally drained to Lake Michigan but now drains by means of artificial diversion to the Illinois River is not considered to be part of the Kankakee River Basin study region. Although the Kankakee River basin includes portions of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan, the discussion below will focus on the Indiana portion of the basin.〔Water Resource Availability in the Kankakee River Basin, Indiana - Executive Summary; Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water, 1990〕
