Fox (Illinois R. trib.)

The city-owned building at the top of the run, formerly occupied by the YakShack, is no longer there; the City of Yorkville demolished it several seasons ago. Now, there is just a concrete pad. However, Yakshackonline.com continues to operate as a web-based business, and offers beginner whitewater (and recreational) kayaking lessons, providing all equipment using American Canoe Association certified instructors. The city does provide a portable changing room and porta-potties (although people sometimes confuse the purpose of the two), as well as a cold-water shower (when they eventually turn it on.) The course/park is also equipped with an AED (near the bottom of the run - look for the red 'EMERGENCY' pole) and a lightning warning system.
