Good Old Wikipedia says this about the Chain of Lakes in what they call a stub until they get a better article.
It is the second largest water orientated recreational asset in northeastern Illinois (the first being Lake Michigan). It ranks second in popularity in the United States (behind the Intercoastal Waterway).
There are 15 lakes, 40 miles of the Fox River, and 450 miles of shoreline.
The lakes were formed by melting glaciers thousands of years ago. There are nine major lakes: Fox, Marie, Catherine, Channel, Nippersink, Pistakee, Grass, Bluff, and Petite. The lakes are connected by channels.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources operates the large Chain O'Lakes State Park by it.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
