Much of the Grove is located within the Fox River's [[floodplain]]. As a result, waterfront properties in the village are at risk of flooding.<ref>[https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/592519/Vulnerabilty+Assessment+for+Fox+River+Corridor+Plan.pdf/75f860bf-f7bc-c1bf-74b6-24e13f9b4921]| "Vulnerability Assessment for the
Fox River Corridor Plan</ref> Seasonal rains in the spring and summer often wash over the backyards and parks that line the river, resulting in property damage, erosion, and the spreading of trash and pollutants from the river onto land. In order to stymie erosion in 2020, the village dumped loads of rocks along a 500-foot stretch of riverbank in Picnic Grove Park. Some residents voiced concern that this would destroy the [[silt]]y bank used by children as a beach; however, it was determined that covering the beach with stone was a necessary move to make in order to preserve the shoreline.
