rivers

I thought I had traveled through or lived in every part of Illinois in my lifetime. I was wrong because I've never been through or lived in a real ancient swamp that exists in extreme southern Illinois.

If you've lived in Illinois or Wisconsin and haven't had a float and drink day at least one point in your life, have you really lived?

if you're looking you're a movie lover looking for a truly unique floating experience you will love this.

There's a ridiculous movie from the 1960s that my Dad absolutely loved, called The Swimmer.

The first Old Man Goonies adventure, I'll have to sit out. But if you're up for a road trip/hiking adventure you might want to check out these places for the "rich stuff".

Looking for a great place for floating but don't want to bring your own? Here are some great options.

Of all the experiences in my life, float trips were among my favorites. That's one reason why I wanted to share a canoe or kayak float option that might be the most mellow I've seen in Illinois.

Most of the growth is harmless, but some can produce toxic chemicals that cause sickness in people and pets.
