Friends of Kickapoo Creek is an organization that works with neighbors, surrounding communities, and other conservation associations to promote stewardship of this unique natural resource through advocacy, education, and monitoring.

Many of us live, work or play along the Kickapoo or its tributaries. Popular recreation activities include fishing, kayaking, hunting, wading, bird-watching, and photography.

Kickapoo Creek and its tributaries are home to a wide variety of animals and plants including: smallmouth bass, spiny softshell turtles, yellow sandshell and fatmucket mussels, bullfrogs, red fox, mink, wood ducks and great blue herons. Streamside woodlands contain giant cottonwood and sycamore trees, among others.
