Celebrate safely this Fourth of July on the Illinois River with these essential tips from the Grand River Dam Authority: always wear a life jacket—especially for kids 12 and under—and let float operators know if anyone in your group is new to floating. Stay hydrated, protect yourself from the sun, and camp only in designated areas. Avoid diving from bridges or bluffs, never float or swim alone, and leave valuables at home—double-check your keys with the operator before you go. Enjoy the river responsibly.
