The Friends of the Hennepin Canal are holding the monthly Hike the Canal outing on Sunday, September 17, 2023, at 1:30 PM at bridge 50. The “Cottonwood” hike is 4.1 miles from Bridge 52 to Bridge 50 on the feeder canal. The hike meets at Bridge 50 at 1:30 PM and will be shuttled to bridge 52 to begin the hike. Directions to Bridge 50 are to take Route 40 north from Route 6 (or I80) to Route 172. Then west on Route172 to where it crosses the Feeder Canal.
The monthly hikes were developed by the Friends of the Hennepin Canal as an opportunity for everyone to get to know the Canal personally by hiking it from the Illinois River to the Mississippi (including the Feeder Canal) in small legs. You need not be a member of the Friends to join us in any of the hikes and there is no fee for the hikes. Come and join in the fun and bring a friend. We ask that you dress weather appropriately.
