Vermillion River Rafting

There Is Only One Place In Illinois You Can Go Whitewater Rafting. Rafting the Vermilion River is an amazing experience for several reasons. First, It is one of the rare rivers in the US that runs South to North.  Second,  its total lack of development along its banks. It’s a unique river because during the whole trip the only man made structure you will see is the Lone Star Cement Plant near the end. One of only a few white water rafting experience’s in the Midwest. The  Vermilion River pushes a swift 3 MPH pace, during its high season.  Using the International Scale of River Difficulty from the American Whitewater Affiliation, the Big Vermilion River would probably rate a Class III out of 6 classes.  There are about 14 sets of rapids spread out over 9 1/2 miles. Most are classified 1’s and 2’s, but If the river water is up over 4 foot, you will get some class 3 rapids.  Highlights of the float include Wildcat Falls, the Lone Star Dam, and The Narrows. Vermillion River Rafting is located at 779 North 2249th Road Oglesby, IL. For more information, click here.
