318 – Parked Barges on the Illinois River
Peoria Landmark #318
Josh says: “The Creve Coeur side of the river on Wesley Rd. The barges you see are barges that are being parked there and “rent” the space from the adjacent land owner.”
This photo was taken just south of Captain Ron’s, facing north. The photo below was taken just to the north of Captain Ron’s, facing south. The sign reads “Restricted Access Area. Authorized Personnel Only. Unauthorized Entry Constitutes a Breach of Security. ADM.”
Also, Anonymous is correct that “Their is a repair facility just past Captain Ron’s.” It is just to the north, on the Creve Coeur side of the river.

I always wondered why so many barges are always parked there and a little further down the river by Captain Ron’s. Anyone know?
