About Kankakee Fish & Wildlife Area:
Kankakee FWA is dedicated to providing outdoor recreational opportunities while maintaining 4,199 acres, which includes open water, marshes, riparian timber, periodically flooded crop fields, and 11 miles of river. The entire area is situated in what was the Kankakee Grand Marsh, which once covered hundreds of thousands of acres. Most of the marsh was drained in the late 1800s for agricultural use.
In 1927, the state purchased 2,312 acres of the remaining marsh for a Civilian Conservation Corps camp that housed as many as 400 men. The area later became established as a game preserve, and during the 1950s, waterfowl management was undertaken by the State. In 1982 the property acquired 1,016 acres of private land that was developed into wildlife habitat. Ten years later in 1992, an additional 767 acres were added. The most recent addition to the property was 104 acres added in 2010.
