River Valley Outdoors
This is the Wild Midwest.
From Hennepin to Havana, up and down the famed Illinois, 100 miles of heaven call from the majestic Illinois River Valley of the great American Midwest. This is an ecosystem with more biodiversity, lush landscapes and scenic wonders than most regions on earth.
Rooted in a humble region filled with endless hidden gems and stunning prairie skies — all shaped over 19,000 years ago by The Kankakee Torrent — the Illinois River Valley Outdoor Alliance (IRVOA) is on a mission to guide people of all ages and abilities into the great outdoors.
Formed in late 2021 as a collective of outdoor groups, organizations, brands and enthusiasts throughout the Central Illinois region, the Illinois River Valley Outdoor Alliance (IRVOA) is on a mission to encourage, equip, guide and incentivize locals and visitors alike — regardless of age or ability — to experience the magic of the great outdoors.
