Announcement from Illinois Department of Natural Resources


Middle Fork Vermilion River Project: Beginning September 14, 2026, a portion of the Middle Fork Vermilion River south/downstream of Mile Marker #8 will be closed and marked by buoys, float lines and/or signage. This streambank stabilization project is expected to last approximately 90 days.

If you are recreating on the Middle Fork, please be aware that during active construction, contractor personnel may hold watercraft for up to 15 minutes or require portage along the left descending bank for public safety.

At this time, this project will not impact Kickapoo Adventures.

Where Memories Are Made

Adventures start here. Whether it is canoeing, kayaking or tubing on the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River – Illinois’ only National Scenic river, trail riding through the challenging single-track trails, hiking or running the forested trails through abandoned strip mining spoils reclaimed by nature, or fishing the deep, clear ponds, Kickapoo Adventures is your source for adventure.
