Rock Creek (Illinois)

Rock Creek (Illinois)

Rock Creek is a tributary of the Kankakee River. It empties into the Kankakee River in Kankakee River State Park which is just west of the city of Kankakee. It starts in higher land and then drops into the Kankakee River Valley. Because of this, the river has cut through the rock, forming a gorge. The majority of this gorge is in the state park. There is also a trail in Kankakee River State Park that follows Rock Creek.
