Quick question.  I try to get out for daily walks.Quick question. I try to get out for daily walks. Any flooding concerns in the areas between Oakton and Thacker & between Lee / Mannheim and Wolf?  

Answer 1

No, there usually isn’t much flooding there. I live right in the neighborhood between these areas, and we don’t get flooding (save for the tiny pool near the back of my yard where it slopes ever so slightly)!

@endocarditis19 thank you. I just need to know if I need to use my waders!

I haven’t been out after *this* particular storm we had last night, but we are not in a flood zone, and we never have flooding like they do closer to the river)

Answer 2

Lake Opeka paths are fine today.  

Answer 3

Shouldn’t be. most of flooding happens east of the railroad tracks on Algonquin to Camp Down Road. By Methodist camp grounds. It used to be the flood zone as far as I know. We haven’t had much rain this year. Plus the work Des Plaines has put in has helped. I think. Maybe others can shed more light on the flooding. All along that river is a problem.  

Answer 4

Thanks for the responses.  

Answer 5

No just huge puddles !

@homemaking36648 I found that out on my walk!  

Answer 6

If you happen to encounter flooding while walking, there's a solution for that: turn and walk the other way.  

Answer 7

The only flooding I have seen is the des plaines river path, near the area @calpac0 mentioned. I run that path sometimes. You seem to be west of there.
