Chicago River Promenade at Night
The Chicago River System is 156 miles long, including the Chicago River, the North Shore Channel, the Sanitary and Ship Canal, and the Calumet-Sag Channel. The deepest point in the Main Branch, around 20-21 feet, is much deeper than before human intervention, when it was more like 2 feet deep. The widest point on the river is the North Avenue Turning Basin, where it is 800 feet across.Carp and goldfish make up a large portion of the fish population although there are also bullhead, darters, minnows, sunfish, bass, and visitors from the Lake like trout and salmon. Over 50 species of fish have been identified in the varied reaches of the River. Birds also live along the banks. Great blue heron, kingfishers, warblers, ducks, and many more are common. Signs of beaver, muskrat, and even mink have been sighted on the river. — Friends of the Chicago River
Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it.
