DuPage River

The DuPage River is a natural waterway that flows through parts of Illinois, including suburban areas near Chicago. It stretches approximately 27 miles, connecting several lakes and wetlands, and eventually joins the Des Plaines River. The river supports local ecosystems, provides recreational opportunities, and plays a role in flood control and water management for the surrounding communities. Efforts are ongoing to preserve water quality, restore natural habitats, and maintain sustainable use of the river and its environment.
