Kaskaskia River Project -- The 2024 Lower Kaskaskia Stakeholders Inc. (LKSI) will be hosting their barge trip on Friday, September 6, 2024, at the Jerry F. Costello Lock & Dam in Modoc, IL (4800 Lock and Dam Road). This trip is reserved only for LKSI members who have reserved a spot by invitation.
Due to the extensive preparation that goes into making this trip a success, the Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam upper boat ramp will be closed Thursday, September 5, and the upper boat ramp and parking lot will be closed Friday, September 6, 2024. The upper boat ramp is scheduled to be open by Saturday morning September 7, 2024.
Unfortunately, at this time the lower boat ramp is also closed due to low levels in the Mississippi River so there will be no river access from the Jerry F. Costello Lock and Dam from September 5 -6, 2024.
