History

The land for the Kishwaukee River State Fish and Wildlife Area was acquired by the state of Illinois in 2002. That year, the state purchased {{convert|570|acre|0}} of land along the South Branch Kishwaukee River in DeKalb County. While the state acquired the {{convert|570|acre|0|sing=on}} parcel south of the riverbank, DeKalb County was working on acquiring approximately {{convert|300|acre|0}} north of the river.

Description
