Saganashkee Slough is a 377 acres (153 ha), manmade riparian lake that forms part of the valley of the Cal-Sag Channel.[1] It is located in the Palos Forest Preserves of Cook County, Illinois,[1] on wetland that was drained but was later reverted to a lake starting in 1948-1949 by the construction of dams and levees.[3] Saganashkee Slough, like other segments of the Cal-Sag canal and valley system, drains into the Des Plaines River and ultimately into the Illinois River.[4]
