Today, I went on a 10 mile day trip with my dad. We went down the Dupage River, starting in naperville, and getting out in plainfield.
Our starting point was weigand park in Naperville, about a mile upstream from the merge. It's very rock for that first mile, but then deepens up once you hit the merge.
Our ending point was Electric Park in Plainfield. There's a steep bank on the river's left that leads to a parking lot.

This trip took us about 3.5 hours. The river has a nice and strong pace, so we slacked off to eat Jerky a bit. The river was surprisingly low. We would scrape up a ton, but were always able to push over the constant sand bars. I could tell from the river's walls that the depth was down by 6-12 inches, maybe more in spots.
