Birding by CANOE at Chain of Lakes State Park

  • Maple Grove Boat Launch & Rental Fox Lake, IL United States (map)

MANDATORY TO REGISTER IN ADVANCE!

Join us as we boat the Fox River Waterway and bird from a different angle. Egrets, Green & Great Blue Herons, Black Terns, Kingbirds and Flycatchers, Marsh Wrens, and Common Yellowthroats are all possible in this area of cattails and lilypads. Bring your own canoe/Kayak (Fox Waterway sticker required) or rent one at Gills ($30 for canoe or solo kayak for two-three hours). Don’t worry if you don’t have a canoe partner – we should have enough people to share canoes.

After our water outing, stop by the Osprey platform to meet Eagle Scout, Aidan Kelly, who will show you the new signage and seating that he built with other scouts. (Lake County Audubon is a donor for his project.)
