Kankakee Refuge Opens— ~~ -
Nature Makes
By TED KNAP
TO. THE HUNTER apd fisherman, Indiana's greatest sin was to civilize the Kankakee River. Fifty years ago, you could push 8 canoe into one of the Kankakee bayous and glide into a flock of majestic white swans. You could “0 watch a deer came crashing through the woods, see mink and” ~<
muskrat glide through the water, feel a 5-pound bass grab your line. Now, you trudge along the Kankakee ‘and see mile-long rows of potatoes, onions and cabbage. Civilization came about 35 Years ago, when Indiana state laws provided for ‘the Kanka- ° kee’s winding, marshy course to be slashed into a narrow, rulerstraight ditch. The basin went to farmers, and wildlife either perished or mostly went elsewhere. Time showed the state did wrong. Some of the farmland is valuable, but the over-all gain does not meet the tremendous loss. So Indiana is now atoning for {ts sin
v ” ” PART OF the atonement will come Sunday when the state dedfcates a new conservation area— the Kankakee River State Park and Forest. It will become the state's 15th park, and will be the third conservation development in the Kankakee basin, There will soon be a fourth. Work is being .completed this summer on Willow Slough, which will join the other state preserves
ifn restoring to the Kankakee some of its lush fish and game
Willow Slough will be dedicated
Other Kankakee basin projects are the Kankakee Game Preserve and the Jasper-Pulaski Game Farm and Preserve. Starting around South Bend, the Kankakee moves through seven counties in northwestern Indiana. LaSalle portaged its swamps in 1679, and Pere Marquette and Father Hennepin paddled their canoes around its lazy, favorite hunt ground for British bends to bring Christianity to the nobility.
