Directions: Put-in on the downstream side of the Skokie Lagoons Control Dam on the west side of Forest Preserve Drive, just north of Willow Road in Winnetka. Park on the west side of Forest Preserve Drive and follow the path to the dam.
Notes: The river passes under the Edens Expressway and by the confluence of the Middle Fork of the North Branch before passing under E. Lake Street in Glenview. The take-out is on river left just past the bridge in Blue Star Memorial Woods.
This entire trip is through Cook County Forest Preserves and is paralleled by the North Shore Bike Path. The combination of the water trail and bike path makes this day trip an easy self-shuttle trip.
