| Hennepin Canal - Illinois, particularly Chicago, needed an economical means of transporting large quantities of goods between the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Eventually a canal was created (dug and dredged) and opened for business in 1907. This, the Hennepin Canal, wound up being "a dollar short and a day late' because by the time it was ready - after nearly 80 years of talking about it, the railroads were fully entrenched and were carrying goods for less than the costs by barge. Plus the canal wasn't big enough to accommodate the newer, larger barges being used by then on the Mississippi. Bad news for some, good news for us. This is a prime recreation resource. Now folks come here to glide in up and down the canal in canoes and kayaks, etc., in safe, secure waters. |
Hennepin
Canal Parkway State Park has been created on the north bank of the
Hennepin Canal just north of Sheffield to accommodate a wide range of
recreational activities - from biking and boating to winter sports; yes,
it is a four-season facility. If you want a quiet, beautiful spot to
stop, take a breather and eat a picnic lunch, take exit 45 of I-80. Turn
left at the end of the off-ramp and turn left into the first road north
of the westbound ramps. Turn left at the first crossroad (2 miles) and
the park (well marked) will be on your left. |
