Draining the swamp

“Don t it always seem to go, that you don t know what you ve got til it s gone.”

Indiana once had a natural feature unmatched in the country. It was the Grand Kankakee Marsh, the largest inland wetland in America.
Formed by the same retreating glacier that gave northeastern Indiana hundreds of freshwater lakes, the Grand Kankakee stretched along the Kankakee River s twisting, winding path from South Bend to Momence, Illinois. Its estimated size ranged from a half million to 1 million acres.
It was about the size of Rhode Island and dubbed “The Everglades of the North” and “Chicago s Food Pantry.”
