Route 60 Boat Ramp

Route 60 Canoe Launch provides access to the Des Plaines River with parking for approximately 20 vehicles and a small adjacent pond for launching canoes and kayaks.

The launch is located on the south side of Route 60 just east of Route 120, operating from 6:30 AM to sunset, with nearby restaurants and gas stations available on Route 21.

This location serves as a transition point on the river with access to both northern sections featuring natural wetlands and southern sections with more developed areas and dams.
