The Fox River watershed is home to a variety of important constituents, including several species of fish and aquatic insects. The river is also impacted by several dams and tributaries, including the Kishwaukee River and the Nippersink Creek. Seasonal trends in the river's flow rate are typical, with the highest flows occurring in the spring and the lowest flows in the late summer and fall. Interestingly, the Fox River in Illinois was once known for its high levels of pollution, but government efforts to reduce pollution have led to a significant improvement in water quality over the past few decades.
