Des Plaines River Video

Here’s some video of the Des Plaines River I captured last fall. A sliver of an oasis located between a densely populated area of northeastern Illinois that flows through the open wetlands of a series of preserves, this trip will appeal to both quietwater paddlers and bike-shuttlers (or waves-to-trails paddlers, as I’ve coined them) because of the convenient Des Plaines River Trail that courses from put-in to takeout. (Adjust to 1080p for the best picture).
