From a precipitation point of view Lake Ellyn is a pretty normal spot; most of the rain falls during June, and February on the other hand is the driest.

Rodeway Inn Glen Ellyn is a good spot to get some rest, and not far from here you can enjoy the trees of Churchill Woods.
This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay E Z Go is a great place to camp, and glide down the rapids of Fox River in a
 
               kayak. If you get bored of Lake Ellyn, you could also have a look at nearby Lake Kadijah, and Illinois & Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor is a magnificent local destination. All through the warm days of summer highs here at Lake Ellyn get into the 80's, and during summer nights temperatures are in the 60's.

To inspect for log jams beneath the gravel pit access bridge directly east of Romeoville High School, you are allowed to drive up to, but not ACROSS the bridge, according to a security gaurd at the gravel pit. To check for log jams, I'd park BEFORE the bridge, and get out and walk across the bridge, looking over the railing. Also, there's a spot where you can walk up to the river edge. Facing east, it will be on your right, before the bridge. I'm uploading a photo dated April 12, 2002. It's a view of that bridge, taken from the water, looking southwest....
