Fox River provides endless summer boating possibilities
In the early 1900s, the Fox River put St. Charles on the map, drawing people near and far to its shores to swim, boat and canoe. More than 100 years later, the river is still the picturesque centerpiece of town, and continues to offer numerous summer recreational possibilities. Renovations to existing public boat launches by the St. Charles Park District also have enhanced the summer boating experience.
A recent shoreline stabilization project at the Pottawatomie Golf Course has preserved and saved the picturesque island green that draws so many to the historic 9-hole course.
Work began in February 2020 to build a 218-foot timber wall to stabilize the east side of the island green that had been eroding into the river for a number of years. Caused in large part by floods and boat traffic, the severity of the erosion had reduced the footprint of the island.
