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.

He who mistrusts most
should be trusted least.
