September 1st cut-off
While the park area is owned by the Village of DePue , the lake itself is controlled by the Department of Natural Resources and they close the lake to racing on September 1st so as to not disrupt migrating waterfowl , so any race would have to be before that , and the site supervisor is very inflexible on this matter !!!!!!!!!!

So racingfan1--are you saying the site supervisor is very inflexible!!!!!!! regarding a race with a date beyond September 1st or are you saying the site supervisor is very inflexible with trying to reschedule the race in general?Comment

reschedule
As long as it is rescheduled before September 1st there probably will not be a a problem - but after that date there is no chance. Maybe someone else can verify this but I think the Title Series a few years ago wanted to put a race there for one that was cancelled and was told the same thing. They wanted a Labor day weekend but it fell after the Sept. 1st date and got shut out. I would guess the last viable weekend this year would be August 27-29.

For me, personally, the worst offense is when people use an apostrophe to form a plural.

No Pictures
Sorry but I am on vacation so I dont have any pictures. The storms that occur in DePue do not have near the effect as storms that occur up north. The Illinois River is formed by other rivers - i.e. Kankakee , Des Plaines , Fox , Vermillion - just to name a few. Most of these rivers run thru the concrete suburbs of Chicago so they tend to have a greater affect on flooding downstream. Since Lake Depue is a backwater lake of the Illinois River , as the Illinois Floods so does Lake DePue. How fast the Illinois recedes depends on the Corps of Engineers , which controls the lock and dam system on the Illinois river.
