About the iroquois river
The Iroquois River is a 103-mile-long river that runs through northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana, eventually flowing into the Kankakee River. The river was named after the Iroquois people who once inhabited the region. The river has been historically important for transportation and agriculture, with several small towns and farms located along its banks. The river is also known for its hydrological properties, with several reservoirs and dams located along its course, including the Langham Creek Dam and the Sugar Creek Dam. These dams provide important flood control measures and irrigation for local agricultural operations. The river is also a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing and boating, with several public parks and boat launches available for visitors.
