SHARE NOW

The Friends of the Canal are holding their monthly Hike the Canal outing on Sunday, April 16, 2023, at 1:30 PM from Lock 21 to Bridge 15.  The hike is 5.4 miles in length and has been named the “Raccoon”. They will meet at Bridge 15 (Visitor’s Center West parking lot – Sheffield) at 1:30 PM and will be shuttled to Lock 21 to begin the hike. The Hennepin Canal Parkway Visitor Center is located just west off of Route 40, south of interstate 80 (exit 54) and north of the Routes 6/34 and Route 40 intersection.

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 Friends of the Hennepin Canal to join any of the hikes. There is no fee for the hikes. Come and join in the fun and bring a friend. They ask that you dress weather appropriately. For more information, contact Ed Herrmann at: [email protected] or call 815-664-2403. The next Hike, called Indigo Bunting, is on May 21, 2023, from Lock 33 to Bridge 47 and meets at Lock 33 in Rock Falls.
