In April 1848, the Illinois & Michigan Canal officially opened. By connecting Lake Michigan to the Illinois River (which in turn led to the Mississippi River), the canal offered–for the first time–an inland, all-water route from the East Coast to the Gulf of Mexico. Congrats to the I&M Canal for celebrating 175 years! Join in April 2023 through April 2024 as they celebrate this anniversary with events held throughout the I&M Canal National Heritage Area! https://iandmcanal.org/events/
Trout season is almost here! The 2023 Illinois spring trout fishing season will open Saturday, April 1, at 58 ponds, lakes, and streams throughout the state. All anglers, must have a fishing license and an Inland Trout Stamp unless they are under the age of 16, blind or disabled, or are an Illinois resident on leave from active duty in the Armed Forces. The daily harvest limit for each angler is five trout. For more information on trout seasons and other Illinois fishing opportunities, check the website at www.ifishillinois.org.
