Over your head I'll bet ya. That boat has to draft (stick down in the water) 9' and they drove it in there. Peoria Lake is where the boat is parked. I've hunted Upper Peoria Lake which is much larger and more silted in. The channel is about 12' deep but the rest of the lake is about 3' deep at normal pool. The odd thing is that when we built hunting blinds we had to stay in the boat. 3' of water but 10' of silt that won't support a person. OTOH drive a post in and you wonder if it will float away but give it a week and it's silted in like it was set in concrete. Back at the turn from 1800s to 1900s the Illinois River was the #1 fish producing river in the US. Nets would catch 100 pounds of fish per foot. That was before everything got plowed and the dams were built.
