this could be helpful especially if you find yourself in new territory and are looking for a place to put in.

I checked it for the Sugar River on the IL and WI stateline and it has every launch site, even the ones inside of Forest Preserves.

... and, if it is a flowage, you might be able to tell what the flow rate/discharge is at this (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) site.  Use the mapper to zoom in to a location of interest and click on the triangle symbol.  Some of the locations are monitored in real time, so you can see water levels change over the course of a day (some I check are logged every 15 minutes).

No idle suggestion from DD. Last summer I had driven some 2.5 hours to the Sugar River (in Martens post) and had I been a bit more sophisticated I could of saved myself the trouble as it was in flood stage. A few clicks on the right site site would of changed my thinking for that day.

its already been done - do some "archeology" on here and you may find the fossil post with numerous links;  i suspect many of which no longer work

Q Passage ? or maybe Bogwalker ? did that I think.

Putting everything in one place? Like Disneyland? Certain things need context to understand - like Disneyland eh

Archeologist alert! There are probably still a few broken links from when I changed the address from YaBB to all CAPS with an A. Sometimes, you may find that if you replace the 'a' with an 'A' it will go to the right place. I could do that for everyone but it would defeat the intent of making things a bit more difficult for the uninformed. 

If you see links that you feel are important, with the small a, CAP A difference, let me know.
