Kankakee River State Park Boat Ramp

Kankakee River State Park offers two boat ramps for accessing the river: one at the Warner Bridge Day Use Area and another at the Area 9 parking lot on the south side of the river. Both launches accommodate motorized craft with 10 horsepower or less.

Boaters should be aware that the river is shallow and rocky, which can be hazardous for motorized vessels but suitable for canoeing.
