The area lies within Peoria and Tazewell Counties, Illinois, and includes TIllinois River Miles 162-167. The project is related to the Peoria Riverfront Development Project, a public and private cooperative effort that also includes revitalization of the City’s downtown area. Development includes a visitor’s center, city park, residential redevelopment, community center, riverboat landing, sports complex, entertainment centers, and retail development. The region has begun to reclaim its abandoned industrial riverfront, with the understanding that a healthy, attractive, and sustainable environment must be present. The Illinois River is a symbol of the region’s economic, social, and cultural history, as well as its future. Therefore, ecosystem restoration in Peoria Lake is a vital component to an overall effort and vision to develop the Peoria Riverfront in an ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable manner. This Ecosystem Restoration Feasibility Study was conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (Non-Federal Sponsor) to investigate the Federal and State interest in ecosystem restoration within Peoria Lake. In support of this resource vision, several regulatory efforts on the part of the cities and counties to address the sedimentation issue affecting the Illinois River have been adopted.

  • La Grange Pool - Illinois River 2021 Fisheries Fact Sheet
    LA GRANGE POOL - ILLINOIS RIVER 2021 FISHERIES FACT SHEET The Illinois River is formed at the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers near Channahon in northeastern Illinois. It flows southwest for 273 miles across the state to enter the Mississippi River at Grafton. There are five dams along the Illinois forming pooled reaches named (upstream to downstream) the Dresden Pool, Marseilles Pool, Starved Rock Pool, Peoria Pool and La Grange Pool. The downstream reach is called the Alton Pool because it is influenced by Mel Price Lock and Dam on the Mississippi River at Alton. LOCATION: The La Grange Pool of the Illinois River extends from the La Grange Lock and Dam at mile 80.2 to the tailwater of the Peoria Lock and Dam at mile 157.7. Brown, Cass, Schuyler, Mason, Fulton, Tazewell and Peoria counties border this reach. RIVER ACCESS: The La Grange Pool is characterized by slow to moderate water velocities and soft substrates of sand and mud. The large number of backwater lakes and sloughs made this reach historically one of the most biologically productive river reaches in the world for waterfowl and fish. Backwaters managed for fishing by IDNR include state fish and wildlife areas at Anderson Lake, Spring Lake, Rice Lake, and Banner Marsh as well as the restored Thompson and Flag lakes at the Emiquon Preserve. Bath Chute, a river side channel, has excellent panfish and largemouth bass populations and is accessible by a public boat ramp in Bath. Boat access to the LaGrange Pool is also available at LaGrange Lock and Dam, Beardstown, Browning, Havana, Liverpool, Kingston Mines and Pekin.

  • Draft River Stages in Illinois: Flood and Damage Data
    State of Illinois Pat Quinn Department of Natural Resources Marc Miller, Director Draft River Stages In Illinois: Flood and Damage Data August 2009 Illinois Department of Natural Resources Office of Water Resources INTRODUCTION There are hundreds of river gages that measure the stages of rivers throughout Illinois. These gages range from simple yardsticks, which must be read visually, to sophisticated recording devices which monitor numerous parameters with the data collected being transmitted by telephone or satellite communication link. These gages were set up at various times during the last 100 years. When each was established, an arbitrary starting point or "stage datum" was set up. The height of the river above this starting point was recorded as the river stage. In many cases, a "flood stage" was also established. Typically, this would be the level where the river goes out of its banks. There are two commonly misunderstood points about river stages. First, there is generally no relation between a river stage for one gage and that for another one on the same river. Second, there is often no correlation between flood stage and actual structural flood damages. Often, especially in a rural area, a river will go out of banks but floods only vacant ground. This manual is an accumulation of flood information for a small portion of the gages in Illinois. The manual lists the stages of past floods, the dates of occurrence, and damages known to occur. The gages are arranged in this manual alphabetically by river and from upstream to downstream along a river. Each gage has two or more pages of information.

  • The Physical Geography of the Illinois River Valley Near Peoria
    The Physical Geography of the Illinois River Valley Near Peoria An Updated Self-Conducted Field Trip using EcoCaches and GPS Technology Donald E. Bevenour East Peoria Community High School Illinois State University Copyright, 1991 Updated by: Kevin M. Emmons Morton High School Bradley University 2007 Additional Support: Martin Hobbs East Peoria Community High School Abstract THE PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE ILLINOIS RIVER VALLEY NEAR PEORIA: AN UPDATED SELF CONDUCTED FIELD TRIP USING ECOCACHES AND GPS TECHNOLOGY This field trip has been written so that anyone can enjoy the trip without the guidance of a professional. The trip could be taken by student groups, families, or an individual; at least two people, a driver and a reader/navigator, are the recommended minimum number of persons for maximum effectiveness and safety. Subjects of discussion include the Illinois River, the Bloomington, Shelbyville, and LeRoy Moraines, various aspects of the glacial history of the area, stream processes, floodplains, natural vegetation, and human adaptations to the physical environment such as agriculture, industry, transportation, and growth of cities. Activities include riding to the top of a lookout tower, judging distance to several landmark objects, and scenic views of the physical and cultural environment. All along the trip, GPS coordinates are supplied to aid you in your navigation. Information on EcoCaches is available at http://www.ilega.org/ Why take a self-guided field trip? A self-guided field trip is an excellent way to learn more about the area in which one lives. Newcomers or visitors to an area should find it a most enlightening manner in which to personalize the new territory.
