The Illinois River is Safer Due to GRDA and Illinois River Volunteer Fire Department Collaboration8/25/2020 When the unthinkable happens on the Illinois River like a missing paddler or camper, two local agencies spring into action first, the Illinois River Volunteer Fire Department and the Grand River Dam Authority Police. These first responders spring into action to rescue stranded floaters, administer life saving aid, and corral rowdy floaters and campers when appropriate. With a prime location on the Illinois River, Sparrow Hawk Camp is a great place to camp and float the scenic Illinois River. Located toward the south end of the river in River Bend Hollow, Sparrow Hawk Camp offers RV campsites with hookups, primitive camping, and float options both short and long. We floated with Sparrow Hawk in July 2020 and this is a report of our experience.   The Illinois River in Tahlequah OK is a great place to get away for a day and enjoy some time with your family or friends. You can choose from plenty of options such as rafting or kayaking. Everyone loves food and sometimes we don’t want to go through the hassle of cooking our own food when we are vacationing. Lucky for you we compiled a list of some of our favorite places on the river to sit back and enjoy a bite to eat, hassle free and tasty as ever.
