The average Illinois whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be easier to run than those in other states, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. The put-in is not too far from Quincy, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The natural beauty of Illinois and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water
beats anything. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. On this section you do get some distance, you can easily run it on an afternoon. This section
